Excited that I got this sorted out today, and that’s to add my company #Intranet, to #MicrosoftTeams as an app. There’s a couple of steps you should follow and if you’re new to #PowerShell or the SharePoint Online Management Shell, it might be a bit overwhelming. But if you’ve got Global Amin rights and the time to learn something new, today is the day. Here’s the steps I followed as well as the resources I promised and below that you’ll find the How To video:

1. Create site (not covered)
2. Create another site (not covered)
3. Link as hub and connected sites
4. Download SharePoint Online Management Shell
5. Set main hub site (or normal site collection) as Home site in tenant
6. Customize Global Navigation
7. Download Viva Connections for Teams desktop package
8. Run Scrip + Supply Information
9. Upload app to Teams Admin Center
10. Configure the policy for access
