Before you start
Who can use this feature
The Starter and Professional plans include a single team.
On the Organization and Enterprise plans, any member can create a new team, unless an admin has restricted team creation.
Teams are designated spaces for projects and files. Use teams to collaborate with others, or to organize your work.
You can create or join multiple teams from a single Figma account. The way you create and join teams depends on your plan type:
- Starter plan: The Starter plan is free and includes a single team. You can create one Starter team per account.
- Professional plan: The Professional plan includes a single team. You can have multiple teams on your account. Figma manages the subscription for each team separately.
- Organization and Enterprise plans: The Organization and Enterprise plans each include unlimited teams. Within an organization, you can create as many teams as you need. You can also join multiple teams within an organization, making it possible to work cross-functionally and share resources.
Are you a student or educator? You may be eligible for a free Education team.
Create a team
If you are new to Figma and looking to create a team, create a Figma account. As a part of account creation, you will be prompted to create your team name.
If you already have a team and want to create another one, you can:
- Create a new Professional team on a new subscription
- Create a team within an existing organization, available to those already on an Organization or Enterprise plan. This does not create a new subscription.
Create a new Professional team
If you are new to Figma and looking to create a team, create a Figma account. As a part of account creation, you will be prompted to create your team name.
