I have one communication site in production. I want to integrate Teams with the communication site. In short, I should be able to create a teams channel which will point to that communication site. And I don't want to convert communication site into team site as it is live now.

Example : Here is the communication site I have created "MyTestSite" and created one teams channel with same name but under "files" its showing SharePoint site as "MyTestSite2". Because it is a communication site.

So basically, I want something where I can use one communication site in teams files and main SharePoint site.
Is there any way to link teams channel with communication site ?

    Hi @Chand Jogani ,
    As the different purposes of Team Site and Communication Site, there is currently no direct way to meet your requirement.
    There is a workaround for your reference.
    1, Click on the Files tab in a given channel, then Add cloud storage.
    2, From the list of available cloud storage options, choose SharePoint.
    3, On the next screen, paste the URL of a library and click Next.

    4, It will then display all available libraries on a site, choose the one you need, click Next.

    5, After choosing the proper library, click Add folder.
    6, It will now add a folder (link to the library) within the Files Tab in a channel.

    7, And you can choose "Open in SharePoint".
