Add SharePoint site as a App to the Teams
Hi, We have been trying to add a SharePoint site to Teams and pinning to the Org-wide, so that everyone in the organization is able to view the SharePoint site pinned on the left side bar in the ...
What happens if you use the “Website” tab and paste in the full url of SharePoint. Is this giving the same results? Or is the top navigation still not visible?
Let me know the outcome.
Kind regards,
Mitchell

The Website tab is available within a specific channel in the Teams, but here we need to add the SharePoint site as an Icon available to all user of the Teams app on left Side bar.
mahendra89 you can create a custom app to do this. Then then Teams admin can a add the app to the left hand nav bar for all users. here is a quick overview of the steps.
Go to the Developer Portal https://dev.teams.microsoft.com/home
+ New App
- Add details
Add Personal App
- In Content URL paste in the Form URL
Publish App too Your org
In Team Admin center - Managae Apps
- make sure app is approved and allowed
In Team Admin – Set up policies
- Add app to Nav bar for all users
This can take several hours to publish app to the nav bar in Teams.

- hi there
we tried your above instruction however we cant find our app under ' set up polices' , its under the manage apps
any idea ? thanks - Thank you!! I search this for 4 hours!!
- NikkiChapple_ Thanks for the steps, we have tried this and are able to successfully add on the left nav bar on Teams after Teams admin policy setup. The issue is we are not able to view Top navigation of the Site when it is hosted/viewed on Teams application. Normally when you open the SharePoint site, we do see the Top navigation menu.
Adding the "/?app=portals" to all your navigational elements will fix the issue of not seeing the top bar in the custom Teams SharePoint application.
So the custom app includes the /?app=portals link and every element does not navigate to your SPO site: "https://contoso.sharepoint.com/sites/TestTeam", but to "https://consoto.sharepoint.com/sites/TestTeam/?app=portals".
This will make the top navigational bar visible in your custom teams application of your SPO site.
Hope this helps.
