Creating Microsoft Lists in Microsoft Teams

Earlier, we have option to link SharePoint Lists in Microsoft Teams. Now we can create Microsoft lists from the Microsoft Teams Web and Client.

Go to Microsoft Teams, Click on + (You can do this in any Channel)

Click on Lists icon.

Click on Save to finish adding Lists to the Channel.

The Lists is added as tab.
Click on Add an existing list, if you already have a list created.

Click on Create a list for new.

We see the default options - Blank list, From Excel and From existing list. The brand new options is Templates. 

[Microsoft is adding new templates, everytime we get updates]

By Clicking the any of the template, we can preview the List with Demo data. We can always go Back and select different template. Click on Use template to go forward.


Enter Name, Description. Choose color, choose icon. Click on Create.


The Issue tracker list was created and  added as a tab in the Channel.

Click on New Item to create List items.

The list is saved to the Microsoft Teams Site Collection. You can view the list using Open in SharePoint.
