Add a user to the Team's sharepoint site's Visitor group, did not show the Team inside desktop app

Ok! The user needs to be a member of that group in order for it to show up! The visitor group is no longer supported to use and will probably remove itself from the group eventually! If you need other permissions to files you can add other sharepoint groups to that site or change the members permissions to read ( not recommended and will affect all users in the group ) add the person as member directly from teams! You can add the person in the group from others places but it will not sync to teams directly! It’s can take some time!
ok thanks for the reply. when you said the user need to be a member , you mean member inside the sharepoint group or member inside the office 365 group? or does not matter?
- Teams only cares about the office 365 group regarding membership

Edit,, after 5 minutes the user is able to access the sharepoint site.. but this mean that members inside the office 365 group will always have Edit on the sharepoint site. in other words i can not grant a user Read on the SP site through adding him to the office 365 group, so they can view the Team inside their MS Teams app?
- As Dean said this is the recommended approach! Technically you can set the members group to read only in sharepoint but it’s not recommended! Also you can break inheritance on folders etc but I would use a new library and add it as cloud storage or as a sharepoint library tab in teams instead
