Hi,

We are trying to create a new Team from the Graph API (POST https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teams).
That works well at the moment. But we can only create a new channel and add our tab, we can’t manage to add a tab on the default general channel on creation through this API. Is there a way to do it with the Beta or V1 apis that is not on the documentation? link doc

{  
      'template@odata.bind': 'https://graph.microsoft.com/beta/teamsTemplates(\'standard\')',  
      visibility: 'Private',  
      displayName: 'Our Super Team',  
      description: '',  
      channels: [  
        {  
          displayName: 'An other Channel',  
          isFavoriteByDefault: true,  
          description: '',  
          tabs: [  
            {  
              'teamsApp@odata.bind': 'https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/appCatalogs/teamsApps(\'my.supa.id\')',  
              name: 'Our Tab app',  
              configuration: {  
                contentUrl: 'https://somewhere-on-the-internet'  
              }  
            },  
          ]  
        },  
...

    Currently when you use graph API to create team, the general channel is added by default where we don't have a control. This is by design. You can add tab to general channel after creating a team.
