title: Implement teams
description: The Teams service allows you assign players to different teams within your experience.
---
You can divide players in your experience into multiple teams using the `Class.Teams` service. By [configuring](#add-teams) the `Class.Teams` service and [assigning teams](#assign-players-to-teams), players are automatically differentiated by their [display name](../characters/name-health-display.md) color, as well as their name in the default player list.
## Add teams
By default, no teams are configured. To add teams:
1. In the [Explorer](../studio/explorer.md) hierarchy, hover over the `Class.Teams` object and click the **⊕** icon to show a list of objects.
2. Insert a new `Class.Team` object under the `Class.Teams` service.
3. Select the new `Class.Team` object and, in the [Properties](../studio/properties.md) window, change the team `Class.Team.Name|Name` and assign a unique matching `Class.Team.TeamColor|TeamColor`. A team's name and color both appear in the experience's player list.
4. Repeat these steps to add more teams.
## Assign players to teams
By default, Roblox **auto-assigns** new players joining the experience to the team with the fewest members, and you can still use the following steps to assign players to a specific team.
1. Select each `Class.Team` object in the `Class.Teams` service to display its properties.
2. Uncheck the `Class.Team.AutoAssignable|AutoAssignable` checkbox.
3. Assign a player to a specific team by changing their `Class.Player.Team` property to the team name in the format of `Teams[TEAM_NAME]`, such as `Teams["Blue Team"]`.
## Team spawn locations
You can use `Class.SpawnLocation` objects to spawn players of different teams at specific locations when they join or respawn. By default, `Class.SpawnLocation|SpawnLocations` are **neutral** and any player can spawn upon them, so you need to lock each one to the team that can occupy it using the following steps:
1. Using the [Explorer](../studio/explorer.md), insert a new `Class.SpawnLocation` into the workspace.
2. With the new `Class.SpawnLocation` selected, uncheck its `Class.SpawnLocation.Neutral|Neutral` checkbox in the [Properties](../studio/properties.md) window.
3. Set the spawn's `Class.SpawnLocation.TeamColor|TeamColor` property to the `Class.Team.TeamColor|TeamColor` of an existing [team](#add-teams). For example, if the intended team's `Class.Team.TeamColor` is `Lapis`, set the spawn's `Class.SpawnLocation.TeamColor` to `Lapis` as well.
`Class.Team.TeamColor``Class.SpawnLocation.TeamColor`
Note that the `Class.SpawnLocation.TeamColor` property is different from `Class.SpawnLocation.BrickColor` and `Class.SpawnLocation.Color` which represent the **visual** color of the spawn object and are not related to team functionality.
3. Select the new `Class.Team` object and, in the [Properties](../studio/properties.md) window, change the team `Class.Team.Name|Name` and assign a unique matching `Class.Team.TeamColor|TeamColor`. A team's name and color both appear in the experience's player list.
3. Assign a player to a specific team by changing their `Class.Player.Team` property to the team name in the format of `Teams[TEAM_NAME]`, such as
