They were called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, and he joined them sometime before March 1595 at which time there is a record that Shakespeare was paid, along with Burbage and other members of the company, for a performance before the Queen.

Prior to 1594 Shakespeare worked with a number of companies as an actor and as a playwright. The companies may have included Queen Elizabeth's Men, Pembroke's Men, Strange's Men, and possibly others. In 1594 he became a founding member of an acting company which lasted long after his death in 1616. The company formed as Lord Hunsdon's Men, but soon after Lord Hunsdon was appointed Lord Chamberlain of England, so the company changed its name to reflect the new elevated status of its patron. In 1603, King James I became the company's new patron and the company name again changed to the King's Men. The King's Men lasted until the closing of the theaters in 1642. Shakespeare also owned shares in the Globe, a public playhouse, and Blackfriars, a private playhouse.
the Lord Chamberlain's Men. They were renamed the King's Men later, however, under a royal patent from James I

None. He was just a baby in 1564; he was born in April of that year. Now if you want to ask about 1594, that is another story.
