Default Site Collection
We are using SharePoint Oline. also, we created the two site collections as follows.
communication site - https://companyname.sharepoint.com
Teamsite - https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/team
Now we would like to set the default site as Teamsite.
for example if we logon the URL https://companyname.sharepoint.com it should point Teamsite. It means we need to set the default site as team site.
how can we do this?

I'm not understanding the post replies above.
CAN a Communications Site, set as a Hub, be made the Default site with the command mentioned? We want to do this in the future and I assumed it was possible.
Thanks,
Rob.- My original test of this awhile back was actually on a hub site. The hub parent navigation link broke, but renaming the hub fixed the URL. I also unregistered the hub site, and recreated it, and it's working as the root site. I think you can move a Hub site, but do at your own risk if you have a bunch of sites joined to it.
RobOK The article doesn't say, it does say associated hub sites cannot, but nothing about the hub itself. I wouldn't trust it thou. I would break down the hub. Preform the move, then associate everything again. I'll see if I can test having a hub on the main site on my test tenant. give me a few.
- I just re-read the article, and I stand corrected.
- You would have to un-hubify it, swap it, then hubify it again.
- Check into invoke-spositeswap powershell command here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/invoke-spositeswap?view=sharepoint-ps
This can let you change the site with the default. Currently there is no way to define the home site yet. That is coming in the future.I have one more question if I delete the communication site, then the team site will be set as the default site?
because we just created the SharePoint site, there is no data.
- "The source or target sites cannot be "associated" with an Office 365 Group or a Hub Site"
(as per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/sharepoint-online/invoke-spositeswap?view=sharepoint-ps )
You cannot swap a Team site.
