How to smoothly navigate from Teams to Sharepoint and vice versa (as if it were one environment)
Hello all! I hope you can help me! Currently I'm experimenting with a group of our students to use Teams in combination with Sharepoint as a digital learning environment. We have the Team to commun...
Kim_TS I am not sure if you have tried this option but that seems something to give it a try if you have not done so already;
Having the URL and putting that in the team as website tab not as Sharepoint since once you put that as the website it shows all the navigation etc.
Teams > Team > Channel > add new tab + > Select website > have your Sharepoint URL and tab name > click save.
PDostiyar , Thank you so much for your reply!
I did as you suggested, before, but I tried again to make sure. Unfortunately the navigation still does not show, so it did not matter if I added the link as a website or a sharepoint link.
Thereby it is still an issue that the site often does not load correctly in Teams, users receive a message to open the site in a new window and end up at the sharepointpage anyway, forcing them out of the teams environment. One of the other ideas I had was to make channels corrsponding with the names of all my menu buttons in Sharepoint, and add one page per channel as a tab. The navigation of the sharepoint page opened within Teams would be solved for my purpose. But if it does not always load correctly and people end up outside the Team anyway... same problem all over 🙂 But if the website view within Teams would be reliable some day (even without the navigation) my world would be a little brighter 🙂
Untill that time I hope someone had a brilliant suggestion or idea! Thanks in advance!!!
Kim_TS for sure as Teams is getting more and more integration with Sharepoint I am sure this will be soon released and will be on the road map as you don't need to leave teams to go to SharePoint you can do everything right from Teams.
as you said there might be few workaround people do with any external app or maybe using a PowerApps to embed the Sharepoint into that app and then put the app into Teams.
