# Create a Team

Teams in Distro allow you to group sales representatives together for automated meeting distribution. You can use round-robin or custom logic to distribute leads among team members, making it easier to manage meeting assignments efficiently.

{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the appropriate timezone for your team
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Adding/Removing Members to a Team

When a **Distribution Rule** evaluates to true and a meeting is created, the meeting will be assigned to either a single user or a team depending on the rule's distribution type.

{% hint style="info" %}
When you add a new team member mid-month, our algorithm will initially prioritize assigning them meetings to help balance the workload. However, it ensures a fair distribution by not overloading the new member.
{% endhint %}

### Managing availability of a Team

For each day of the week, you can set specific time slots by selecting start and end times from the dropdown menus. Click the "+" button to add multiple time slots for a day to accommodate different schedules and time zones.

Prospects will be able to book time slots according to the timezone of the team and the team availability.

{% hint style="warning" %}
When **Routers** are configured to **inherit availabilities from the team**, meetings will be automatically distributed within these defined time slots.

For **Ownership Rules**, the system will inherit availabilities from individual user settings rather than team availability.
{% endhint %}
