How to build a sharepoint page that is accessible on TEAMS

Question

I have a Teams Channel, I now what to build a SharePoint page (newsletter) that the team can access on Teams.

Answer 1

Dear @Shearon Louise A, 

Good day, and I appreciate the clear explanation of your concern.   

Teams and SharePoint are designed to work together. However, a SharePoint page does not appear inside a Teams channel automatically. It must be created in the correct SharePoint location and then added to the channel as a tab. 

Here are some options you can consider: 

Step 1: Create and publish the newsletter page in the correct SharePoint site 

• For standard channels, create the page in the Team’s connected SharePoint site, as all standard channels share the same parent site. 
• For private or shared channels, Teams uses a separate SharePoint site that only channel members can access. 

To open the correct site: Go to Teams, open the channel, select "Files" or "Shared", then choose Open in SharePoint. 

Select "New" or "Create", then choose Page. 

Build your newsletter using web parts such as Text, Image, News, or Documents. 

Select Publish. The page must be published, not saved as a draft, for team members to see it. 

Confirm that permissions allow channel members to view the page. 

Step 2: Add the published SharePoint page as a tab in the Teams channel 

Once the page is published, it can be surfaced inside Teams so members can read it without leaving the channel. 

Open Microsoft Teams and go to the target channel. 

Select the plus icon to add a new tab > Apps. 

Choose SharePoint page. 

Select Pages and then choose the published newsletter page from the list. 

Select Save. 

The page will now display as a tab within the channel for all members who have access. 

Additionally, you can also review the following workarounds that may better fit your requirements: 

Option 1: If the SharePoint page is stored in a different site 

If the newsletter page is stored in a SharePoint site that is not connected to the Team, it can still be added to the channel. 

In the Teams channel, select the plus icon to add a tab > Apps. 

Choose SharePoint page. 

Select Any SharePoint site. 

Paste the full URL of the published page. 

Select Save. 

Please note that adding the page as a tab does not change permissions. If a user does not already have access to that SharePoint site, they will be prompted to request access. 

Option 2: Add a SharePoint site to a Teams channel  

If you prefer team members to browse an entire SharePoint site rather than a single page, the full SharePoint site can be added as a tab instead of an individual page.  

This provides a broader intranet-style experience within Teams and is only recommended if users need access to multiple pages or libraries.

Answer 2

To build a SharePoint page that the team can access directly in a Teams channel, follow these steps in two parts: first create and publish the SharePoint page, then add it as a tab in Teams.

1. Create and publish the SharePoint page
2. From the SharePoint site connected to the Team, select New > Page.
3. Choose a page template and select Create page.
4. Select the page title area to edit the text (for example, name it “Team Newsletter”).
5. Select Browse images to choose a header image and adjust the focal point if needed.
6. Select the + sign to add a new section and choose the layout (one column, two columns, etc.).
7. From the Toolbox on the right, select or drag-and-drop web parts (text, images, news, document library, etc.) onto the page and configure them as needed for the newsletter.
8. To remove any section or web part, select it and choose Delete.
9. When finished, select Publish so the page is available to others.
10. Optionally select Promote to add the page to site navigation or otherwise help users find it.
11. Add the SharePoint page as a tab in the Teams channel
12. In Microsoft Teams, go to the desired team and select the channel where the newsletter should appear.
13. To the right of the channel name, select the + button on the tab bar.
14. Select SharePoint.
15. Choose the published page from the list of available SharePoint content (or use the Any SharePoint site option and paste the page URL if it’s from another site).
16. (Optional) Select Post to the channel about this tab to automatically post a message announcing the new tab.
17. Select Save.

The SharePoint newsletter page will now appear as a tab in the Teams channel, and team members can open and read it directly in Teams.
