    This below document explains creating a Microsoft Team from a SharePoint team site: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/office/create-a-microsoft-team-from-sharepoint-545973b6-c38f-426a-b2b6-16405a561628

    You can create a Microsoft Teams channel that is connected to an existing SharePoint site by following these steps:

    1. In Microsoft Teams, navigate to the team where you want to create the new channel.
    2. Click on the three-dot menu next to the team name and select "Add channel".
    3. Enter a name and description for the new channel.
    4. Under the "Privacy" section, select the "Standard" or "Private" option, depending on your preference.
    5. Under the "Channel site" section, select the "Connect to an existing SharePoint site" option.
    6. Click on the "Select site" button and choose the SharePoint site that you want to connect to the new channel.
    7. Click on the "Done" button to create the new channel.

    Once the new channel is created, a new folder will be created in the SharePoint site's document library, and any files shared in the channel will be stored in that folder. Additionally, you can use the "Files" tab in the channel to access and manage the files stored in the SharePoint site's document library.

    Thanks,
