How it's used
Refers specifically to organized groups with a shared purpose or mission, rather than just a casual gathering of friends. It is commonly used in formal or semi-formal contexts like news, school clubs, or professional associations. When talking about a more informal group of people hanging out, use 班 or 堆 instead.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 團隊, which specifically refers to a team working together on a project or task. While 團體 is a broader term for an organization or group, 團隊 emphasizes the collaborative effort and synergy of the members.
