Adding a Website on left sidebar
Fields2015 Actually, I saved something I read about how to do this. Have never tried it, but maybe this can give you some hints?
Has anyone discovered a way to add a website to the Teams app bar? I want to link our corporate intranet, which is built on SharePoint.
- you can utilize Microsoft Viva Connection app in Teams to use your SharePoint base Intranet home page. once you customize the app, pin it to your Teams menu using a setup policy and you will have your users accessing your Intranet from Teams instead of going to https://<yourdomain>.sharepoint.com/ to do so.
Hi all,
The viva connections app can be utilized for the site which is designated the Home Site within the SPO setup. However, you can render any SPO site using the dev portal which contains app studio, or use the app studio app whilst it is around. In the web version of Teams the SPO site will render just with the URL however to get it to work in the Desktop you need to amend the manifest.
In terms of a site working through a custom app build, some sites work and some don't. For example WordPress sites work. Microsoft sites don't. This is because sites have settings which can prevent them rendering within IFrames, usually because the X-Frame-Option of those sites is set to Deny.
Hope that helps and answers your question
Best, Chris
Rob Barker Let me know if you come across any solution. But for now we will need to create a custom app but it would be nice if Ms make the functionality for the sidebar.
Nathan007 nope, I haven't found any way yet. I'm hoping MS delivers this functionality soon.

Rob Barker Nathan007 No solution but there's a Uservoice item for this feature that you can vote on: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/40124356-customize-the-app-bar-with-websites
Rob Barker Now it is possible with Viva Connections!
