Create and explore a team – Figma Learn - Help Center

Who can use this feature

Supported for teams on the Starter, Education, and Professional plans.

Any team member can access the team page.

Teams give you access to a dedicated environment where you can create files and projects. Use teams to collaborate with others, or to structure and organize your own work. You can create or join multiple teams from a single Figma account.
