Hi Berto,
I had to go through a similar issue and came across your question... I did find an answer somehow searching in different places and putting things together. So I am sharing this with the community for further reference.
1. First understanding that you should have access to Sharepoint. So within Sharepoint you start a task list. You can follow this link to do that. https://youtu.be/vZpxlPc5qdI?si=6RnctPoHau9cCRvw
2. Then... within sharepoint you have an option in the classic view, at the the list tab on the top thre is an option to open that list direclty in Project.
As you are already within the GUI of Project, you are able to copy, paste or work directly in the desktop or web app, you can modify as yoiu wish. In my case. I worked directly with the Desktop Microsoft Project App, reading the file directly from Sharepoint.
3. After I finished modifying the file in the Desktop app, then I saved and closed the desktop app. I went back to sharepoint and visualized the file there. I copied the URL link.
4. Then I followed this on Teams to place it on a TAB. https://youtu.be/LKcuRMjYDzs?si=7cx0n--2h6Of2j4m. Just add a tab for a website and place the link that you copied from the sharepoint URL.
And there you have the reference.... All the people who you give access to the sharepoint list file, will be able to see the tab in teams, or open directly the website from sharepoint.
Hope this is useful
