# Create a workspace for your team

A team workspace helps a team collaborate in Carbon Voice, with fewer meetings, faster
decisions, less time lost. A workspace gives you:

- A directory for finding team members and shared conversations.
- Access control over conversations, and removal when someone leaves the team.
- Central billing, if you want to pay for premium features across the team.
- Custom retention policies and data export.

## 1. Create the workspace

Tap your **Profile Menu** from Home, choose **Spaces**, then tap the **"+"** to create
a new workspace. Give it a name and upload an image for its icon.

## 2. Set up workspace discovery

Associate your company domain or domains with the workspace. Anyone who logs in with a
matching email domain is then told the workspace exists. You can configure whether they:

- Join automatically,
- Are prompted to request to join, with an admin approving, or
- See custom instructions you've written, covering internal processes or how to join.

See [Connect a domain to your workspace](https://help.carbonvoice.app/workspaces/connect-a-domain).

## 3. Add team members

Enter email addresses for your team, and you can paste a comma-separated list. They'll get
an email letting them know they've been added, with links to download the app. You can
also generate a link and share it yourself.

See [Adding someone to a workspace](https://help.carbonvoice.app/workspaces/adding-people).

## 4. Create starter conversations

Use the suggested conversations or create your own. Once created, tap into each one and
tap **Add People** to add the relevant people, then send a first message.

## Making it stick

Most of the value comes from breaking the meeting habit. It's worth going through the
calendar and finding which meetings could become asynchronous voice conversations
instead.

## Provisioning via SCIM

Enterprise teams can provision people through SCIM. See
[Okta user provisioning with SCIM](https://help.carbonvoice.app/workspaces/okta-scim), or reach out through **Profile Menu →
Help → Get Support**.
