Utilizing Existing Sharepoint 0365 Group for MS Teams - Not Appearing in MS Teams
In order to prevent the duplicate creation of sharepoint sites, we would like to utilize an existing sharepoint and 0365 group. I have been trying to get a test "IT Department" sharepoint to appear in Microsoft Teams.
1. I am the owner of this group and it is a Private group. I am also a member.
2. This is 0365 group created back in 2017, tied to an existing sharepoint.
3. I do not see the option to create a new team from this Office 365 group - "IT Department"
4. The sharepoint page does not show the option to "Create a Team" as demonstrated below.
5. The sharepoint site does not have a "Teams" tab either. As demonstrated below:
6. Office 365 groups shows that this group already has a team Connected.
7. I do not see IT department as an Team Channel in the desktop or web app of Microsoft Teams.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get this "IT Department" team to properly show up in Microsoft Teams? We would like to be able to use our existing Sharepoint architecture - and, this is needed for a proof of concept.
- In admin portal go to groups and make sure you are both an owner and a member of the group!
Also you can go to Teams admin center to see more information if there already is a team attached to it- Thank you Adam for your suggestions. I have already tried those and put them in my post.
