How to Find your Microsoft Team ID

Every team in Microsoft Teams has a unique Team ID and each channel in Teams has a unique Channel ID.  We'll show you how to easily grab both in this article.

How to Find Your Team ID in Microsoft Teams

First, within Microsoft Teams, select the Teams icon in the left navigation.  Then choose a Team and select the 3 horizontal dots next to the team name.  Once you click the icon, you'll see a popup with an option to Get link to team.  Choose this option.

Once you select 'Get link to team', select the Copy button.  You can paste this link to any text editor.  Included in the URL

Teams tenant id

Once you have the link to your team, it will look similar to this:

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/team/19%3a8f9b982085b440f1a1e34fe53b84dbc4%40thread.skype/conversations?groupId=0efcc002-6001-4a21-991b-8ba10bac0612&tenantId=421c85c3-3791-4b2d-5dd6-6fa64bc1b231

As you can see it includes a groupId parameter.  This is your Microsoft Teams Team id for this Team.  

If you are looking for your Microsoft Teams tenant id which is essentially your account id, you can see the value in your tenantId value above as well.
