Onenote Teams
You can use OneNote within Microsoft Teams, and this guide, we'll outline the steps to install, manage, and remove the app on Windows 10.
If Microsoft Teams and OneNote are already part of your daily work routine, instead of switching back and forth between apps and using additional steps to share notebooks with colleagues, you can install the OneNote app on Teams to simplify the experience.
Once the app is added to Microsoft Teams, you can add new or existing notebooks to share content (such as lits, notes, drawings, etc.) and collaborate with colleagues without breaking your workflow.
In this Windows 10 guide, we'll walk you through the steps to integrate OneNote into Microsoft Teams.

How to install OneNote on Microsoft Teams
Meeting notes are a great place to capture and share notes before, during, and after a Teams meeting. A few things to keep in mind: Only people in the same org as the meeting organizer will be able to start or access meeting notes. Meeting notes are available in meetings with up to 100 people. Microsoft Teams, the hub for team collaboration in Microsoft 365, integrates the people, content, and tools your team needs to be more engaged and effective. The Wiki is fast and simple but only works inside Teams. OneNote offers more features and can be used outside Teams. My advice: if the Wiki works for you, that's great. If you want more out of your note-taking, and the ability to reference notes outside of Teams, use OneNote.

Suggestions for your first teams and channels
A team is a collection of people who gather together around a common goal. Channels are the collaboration spaces within a team where the actual work gets done.
To learn more, see Overview of teams and channels in Teams and Best practices for organizing teams in Teams.
We suggest you start with a 'Get to know Teams' team where your early adopters can play around, ask questions, and discover the capabilities of Teams. This team can be essential to your success as you begin to experiment with Teams.
'Get to know Teams' team
Your project team can use the 'Getting to know Teams' team to ensure they're set up with Teams clients, have some initial conversations, and explore what Teams can do. You may already have a group of people in your organization who enjoy getting early access to new capabilities. This can be one of their initial teams when you bring them on board and will help you get early feedback.

Microsoft Teams And Onenote
As an admin, you can create and manage teams and channels in the Teams client or the Microsoft Teams admin center. You can create teams as public or private. You can also create an org-wide team. Anyone using Teams in your organization can join a public team. For private teams, team owners manage team membership. And for an org-wide team, everyone in your organization is automatically added.
To get started, we recommend you create private teams and add another owner to manage team settings and membership.
Note
In the steps that follow, we use the Teams desktop client to create teams and channels. Keep in mind that as an admin, you can also do these tasks in the Microsoft Teams admin center.
Create a team
On the left side of Teams, click Teams, at the bottom of the teams list, click Join or create a team, and then click Create a new team.
Once you've created the team, invite people to join it. You can add individual users, groups, and even entire contact groups (formerly known as 'distribution lists').
Add a team owner
Find the team that you created, click More options ˙˙˙ > Manage team. Then go to the Members tab. Find the people you want to designate as team owners. Under Role, click Owner.
Create a channel in a team
Find the team that you created, click More options ... > Add channel. You can also click Manage team and add a channel in the Channels tab.
Give the channel a descriptive name to make it easier for users to understand the purpose of the channel.
As a team owner, you can automatically favorite channels for the whole team, making the channels more visible for everyone on the team. You can also pin tabs to the channel to add tools, such as OneNote, links to webpages, and other content to make it easy for users to find what they need and share their thoughts.
Here's an example of the 'How do I' channel in the 'Get to know Teams' team, showing pinned tabs that link to Teams webpages – Teams video training, Teams help center, and Teams download links.
