Create a team site in SharePoint online

Overview 

A SharePoint team site connects you and your team to the content, information, and apps you rely on every day. For example, you can use a team site to store and collaborate on files or to create and manage lists of information.

On a team site home page, you can view links to important team files, apps, and web pages and see recent site activity in the activity feed.
