john johnyou added them to a SharePoint group, which is not the same thing as an Office Group (which is what Teams uses). Add them as a Guest in Teams and you will be all set. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/guest-capabilities-in-teams-d03fdf5b-1a6e-48e4-8e07-b13e1350ec7b

Ok thanks for the reply. so the user need to be a guest or a member inside the MS Team so they can see the Team inside desktop app? so even if i granted them to be the site owner (by adding them to the Owner sharepoint group), they can not view the Teams inside their desktop app?

Correct! They need to be a member of that office 365 group either by adding them there, via admin portal or teams admin portal or just simply add them from the Team itself! The last is recommended
