I changed teams internally about a year ago after 6 years in the same team. Changed into a completely different area with no domain knowledge and a technology stack that has nothing in common with what I was doing before.
Some of the things that have helped.
Be a sponge. Absorb everything, all the time. Ask questions. Read everything. Make sure you get time with people who can answer questions / teach you things. People, almost always, are happy to spend time with you.
When something aligns with your existing expertise, and there's always something, jump in. Offer advice, solve problems. If your company culture is healthy, your new team mates will really appreciate it. Different perspectives are so refreshing.
It'll take time to feel like you're an integral part of your new team / company. From what you already told us, I think it'll happen sooner rather than later in your new company.
