Start by using the radio buttons to filter between your tenant's Teams or all
Groups. Apply a single filter, or multiple filters, to focus the Manage page.

Filtering behaviors
Radio buttons
When you select the Groups radio button, the list will display all your tenant's Microsoft 365 groups and teams. This is because a group can be created without an associated team, while each team created has an associated Microsoft 365 group.
For more information, see What is the relationship between Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 Groups, and Microsoft services?
Tip: From the team and group details, you can see if Teams is one of the Apps Used.
Filters drawer
When you apply multiple filters within the same feature (e.x. Privacy settings, Purpose, Review status, etc.), the list will display all the teams and/or groups with at least 1 of the attributes selected.
For example, if you select Privacy settings > Private and Privacy settings > Public, the list will display all teams and/or groups that are Private and also all the teams and/or groups that are Public. This cumulative behavior is designed to help you refine the list for multiple attributes at once.
When you apply multiple filters across different features, the list will display the teams and/or groups with both of the attributes selected.
For example, if you select Activity status > Inactive and Apps used > Outlook Email, the list will display the teams and/or groups that are inactive and use Outlook email. This behavior is designed to help you refine the list for specific combinations of attributes.
Tip: Use the list Total and attribute totals to better understand the filtering behavior.
