# Create workspaces
Source: https://docs.infraista.com/en/compute/workspaces/create-workspaces



You can create desktops for several people at once: each person gets their own.

**Before you start:** the people must be members of your organization
([Invite teammates](/en/account/invite-teammates)), and your account setup must be complete.

1. Go to **Compute › Workspaces** and select **New workspace**.
2. **Operating system**: **Windows** or **Linux**. Windows includes a Windows Server licence, billed
   per vCPU; Linux has no licence fee.
3. **Size**: pick a plan. The price is per desktop, per hour while it runs; each plan also shows what
   it would cost always on for a month, and on Windows the licence it includes.
4. **Assign to**: tick the people who get a desktop (one desktop per person). Turn on **Shared pool**
   and enter a **Pool name** to group them as a team pool, for example "Design team".
5. **Power**: turn on **Working hours**, pick the **Days**, and set **Start** and **Stop**. Desktops
   start before the day begins and stop at the end of it, in your timezone. Leave it off and desktops
   start and stop only when someone says so.
6. **Location**: pick the region closest to your team; it feels smoothest. Optionally pick a
   **Project**.
7. In the **Summary**, enter a **Name**. With several people, `-01`, `-02` and so on are added. Use
   lowercase letters, numbers and dashes.
8. Check the estimated monthly cost and select **Create workspace**.

The setup page shows each step. You can leave it: setup keeps going. Billing starts when the desktop
is running.

## How workspaces are billed [#how-workspaces-are-billed]

* By the hour while the desktop is running. Stopped desktops aren't billed for compute.
* On Windows, the licence is included in the hourly price.
* Working hours keep costs down: the summary estimates the hours a month per desktop.
