Hello:
Does anyone know of a way to create a team using a communication site? What am I trying to do specifically is create an Org Wide team using the root tenant sharepoint site as the back-end.
We recently started a new tenant site and by default the root tenant site was a communication site and not a classic/teams site.

Hi @jackfight, MS Teams rely on Office 365 Groups to work and SPO #Comsite cannot be connected to Group, meaning you need a Group Connected Team site in the root URL to enable Teams for it.
As far as I can see it won't work with a #comsite.
Just for fun I tried to use Invoke-SPOSiteSwap a normal team site with the root comsite, and when it did work the option to connect the site to a Group disappeared. ;)
Hope this helps.
Cheers

@Chris Webb Okay, I thought that might be the case, thanks for the speedy response.

@Jimmy Hang Thanks for the feedback Jimmy. I guess I will wait to see if Microsoft eventually makes this possible.
