Use this interactive demo to learn how to connect a SharePoint list directly inside a Teams channel.

Quick summary

Linking a SharePoint list to a Microsoft Teams channel lets your team view and manage list data without leaving Teams. This is done by adding a SharePoint tab through the channel's top menu in just a few steps.

Steps

Inside the main dashboard of your Teams channel, navigate to the top menu bar and click the 'Add a Tab' icon.
Choose 'SharePoint' from the available tab options.
Tick the radio button next to 'Any SharePoint Site' to expand your site selection.
Enter the SharePoint list link into the provided input field.
Tap 'Save' to confirm and proceed.
The selected SharePoint list will now be linked to your Teams channel and accessible as a tab.

📌 Why this matters

Linking a SharePoint list to a Microsoft Teams channel centralizes data access so team members can view, edit, and collaborate on list content directly within their existing Teams workflow. This integration eliminates the need to switch between applications, reducing context-switching and improving productivity for distributed or hybrid teams. For organizations already using Microsoft 365, connecting SharePoint and Teams unlocks a tighter collaboration loop between project data and team communication. It is especially valuable for operations, project management, and IT teams that rely on structured list data to coordinate tasks and track progress.
