How do you show a team boundary in C4 diagrams?

How do you show a team boundary (5 to 9 people building "a thing" as defined in Team Topologies) in a C4 diagram? Software System is built by few teams (e.g. 3 teams). Each team uses few Containers as part of their software component. In the FAQ on C4 site the author shows another dotted-line bounary, a "service", but this is not a formal level of the C4 metamodel. How do you solve that?
