create Org-Wide team from Root Tenant communication site
Hello:
Does anyone know of a way to create a team using a communication site? What am I trying to do specifically is create an Org Wide team using the root tenant sharepoint site as the back-end.
We recently started a new tenant site and by default the root tenant site was a communication site and not a classic/teams site.
- It's not possible to tie a group to a comm site. Maybe once they allow us to make a group site looks like a comm site that will be an option, but until then it's not possible. They showed this back at ignite last year I believe, not sure where the feature went.
- Just wanted to say I came here with the exact same intent, was disappointed to find out it isn't possible. I would say that "once you make an Org-Wide-Team", it's only natural wanting to make that team's SharePoint site your "Root Tenant Communication Site".
Hope that option is coming soon. Hi jackfight, MS Teams rely on Office 365 Groups to work and SPO #Comsite cannot be connected to Group, meaning you need a Group Connected Team site in the root URL to enable Teams for it.
As far as I can see it won't work with a #comsite.Just for fun I tried to use Invoke-SPOSiteSwap a normal team site with the root comsite, and when it did work the option to connect the site to a Group disappeared. 😉
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Jimmy Hang Thanks for the feedback Jimmy. I guess I will wait to see if Microsoft eventually makes this possible.

ChrisWebbTech Okay, I thought that might be the case, thanks for the speedy response.
