Understanding a team’s profile
When you open a team’s profile, you’ll see the following:

- Tap the padlock icon to change the team type to private. If your team is set to public, anyone in your organization will be able to join the team.
- The following action buttons:
- Tap the chat bubble button to start a message with the team.

- Tap the plus icon to add members.
- A list of team members.
- A star icon at the top to add the team to your favorites.
- A gear icon at the top to view User settings, Admin settings, and actions that users are allowed to perform.
Note: In order to start a video or conference call, company admins must first enable phone features at the company account level.
Understanding the User settings section
Whether you’re a team admin or a regular team member, you will have access to the User settings. To access these settings, select the gear icon at top right. Under User settings, you can configure the following settings:
- Favorite: Toggle on to add the team to your favorites list.
- Mute: Toggle on to mute mobile and email notifications.
- Mobile notifications: If Mute is disabled, use this option to select when to receive mobile notifications from the team. Your options are Every message, First new message only, and Off.
- Email notifications: If Mute is disabled, use this option to select when to receive email notifications from the team. Your options are Every 15 minutes, Every hour, and Off.
Understanding the Admin settings section
This section is only accessible to team admins and allows them to view and edit a list of permissions that was configured upon the creation of the team.
- Team name: Provide the name of your team in this field.
- Team type: Indicates if the team is public or private. Tap to reveal a modal window and choose from the following options:
- Private (invite only): Choose this option if you want this team to be private. RingCentral app users will need to be invited to a private team, and they will be unable to search for this team if they have not been invited.
- Public (visible to any co-worker): Choose this option if you want the team to be public, meaning anyone can join without an invitation and anyone can find it via search or the Contacts menu.
- Remove team members: Tap to select users to remove from the team. To learn more about removing team members, visit Managing a team's members in the RingCentral mobile app.

Understanding the Allow members to section
The Allow members to section is only accessible to team admins, and allows them to edit a list of actions that team members can perform within the team.
- Add other members: Toggle this on if you’d like to allow non-admin members of the team to invite members. This setting is only available for private teams.
- Post messages: Toggle this setting off if you’d like to make this team read-only, meaning any non-admins will be unable to post in this team.
- Add integrations: Toggle this setting on if you’d like to allow non-admin members of the team to integrate apps in this team.
- Pin posts: Toggle this setting on if you’d like to allow non-admins to pin posts in the conversation. To learn more about pinning a message, visit Managing your messages in the RingCentral mobile app.
- Use @Team mentions: Toggle this setting on if you’d like to allow non-admins to use the @team mention in a message.
