Microsoft 365 Free Reporting Tool – Recently Created Teams Report

Microsoft Teams environments evolve rapidly. New Teams are created daily — for projects, departments, events, and collaboration initiatives. But as Teams creation increases, one important governance question emerges: Which Teams were created recently?

Tracking newly created Teams is critical for governance, naming compliance, and security oversight. Unfortunately, native admin tools don’t make this easy.

The Recently Created Teams Report, available in the M365 Free Reporting Tool, gives administrators instant visibility into newly created Teams — without manual digging or PowerShell scripting.

What Are Recently Created Microsoft Teams?

Recently Created Microsoft Teams are Teams that were provisioned within a defined timeframe — such as:

  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • A specific date range

Monitoring new Teams helps admins:

  • Track growth trends
  • Review naming standards compliance
  • Validate ownership assignment
  • Prevent collaboration sprawl

In growing tenants, this visibility is essential.

How to Generate Recently Created Microsoft Teams Report?

Let’s look at the available approaches and their limitations.

  1. Using Microsoft 365 Admin Center

    2. The Microsoft 365 Admin Center does not provide a way to track newly created Teams.

    ❌ Limitations

    • No filter for creation date
    • No reporting for new Teams
    • No consolidated view of recently created Teams

    This makes it unsuitable for governance tracking.

  2. Using Microsoft Teams Admin Center

    3. The Microsoft Teams Admin Center provides visibility into Teams — but not filtering by creation date.

    ❌ Limitations

    • No way to filter Teams by creation date
    • Teams are listed in bulk without timeline-based sorting
    • Manual inspection required

    In tenants with hundreds of Teams, this becomes impractical.

  3. Using Graph PowerShell

    4. Graph PowerShell allows admins to fetch recently created Teams by filtering based on creation date.

    📘 Reference Script:

    This approach typically:

    • Retrieves Teams-enabled groups
    • Applies a createdDateTime filter
    • Formats and exports the results

    ⚠️ Downsides of PowerShell

    • Requires Graph and PowerShell expertise
    • Date filtering logic must be carefully handled
    • Script maintenance required
    • Manual CSV export and formatting

    While powerful, this method is not ideal for quick, repeatable reporting.
