# Managing Teammates

## Overview

This article provides step-by-step instructions for how to add or remove someone as a teammate.

Common Room automatically categorizes teammates based on the organization where they work. If we detect someone who works at your company, they'll be a "teammate" in Common Room. However, we may not always get it right — for example, you may know about a job change or a brand new hire — so to make adjustments you also have the option to mark any contact as a teammate.

By default, Common Room excludes teammates from your standard views in Contacts, Activity, and Reporting.
