Linking Teams to a Communication site?
When you create a new Teams channel, by default it will deploy a linked team site in SharePoint for the files to be stored in. However, we need to create a Teams channel that links to a communication...
Assuming you Mean Team tied to the communication site. You say channel but that is wrong terminology.
Anyway, this isn't possible today. But there isn't really anything special about a communication site other than the fact that it has top nav bar vs. .left nav bar. The ability to change this nav is coming in the near future, so you'll be able to fufill this need.
Other than that, what feature was it that is requiring a comm site instead of the default site that comes with a Team?

To be honest, the only reason we wanted to use a Communication site is to take advantage of the centered page columns. Team sites (in my opinion) don't look great with all the web parts and content pushed to the left of the screen with all that white space on the right hand side. Unfortunately many of our staff have 2K monitors so it can look a bit out of place. We've had many comments in the past saying "why is there all this white space on the right?" and from a user's perspective it looks like we've designed the site poorly.
The full width hero web part is also very useful for our needs too. We can use it to display our IT services in a nice visual banner, better than what the team sites seem to offer as far as visual apps go.
