Important
-
Changing a team’s name updates how it appears in Microsoft Teams, but it does not change the associated email address. The original email remains tied to the Microsoft 365 Group and cannot be updated. If a different email address is needed, a new team must be created.
-
It may take up to 24 hours for the new team name to fully propagate across Microsoft 365 services, including Outlook, SharePoint, and Teams search results.
