How to create new team and Link existing SharePoint Site programmatically instead of new site.

[Rajesh Lohar]

Hi,

I am working on an automation where I need to create a team dynamically and need to link it with an existing SharePoint site which is a subsite in the site collection. is there any way, I can link existing SharePoint site with a team in the MS Teams?

If above is not possible, then alternatively, is there any way, I can link "files" tab to an existing SharePoint Library programmatically?

Thanks,

See if this helps with your automation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/transform/modernize-connect-to-office365-group

It does not help. I need to connect "Files" of MS Team, to a SharePoint Document Library.

Perhaps you should update the topic and not asking how to "Create new team using existing SharePoint Site".

I updated the topic.

@Rajesh Lohar You cannot add a Microsoft Team to a subsite, Teams can only be added to Sites (Site collections) which are connected to Microsoft 365 Groups.

Check below links to "Teamify" existing subsites:

1. “Teamify” existing subsites with the help of ShareGate Desktop 
2. Can i link a sub-site insdie a classic team site to a MS Teams 

Also, check this article about how to use existing SharePoint library as files tab in Microsoft Teams (not sure if it is still supported): Microsoft Teams: Use an Existing SharePoint Library 

However, you can always add any SharePoint library/page as a Tab in any Team/Channel. Integrate existing SharePoint 365 website into Microsoft Teams
