Solution

  • The left rail is only for actual Teams apps, so you can't pin just a web link there directly. However, there are a few options:

    1. Develop a custom "tab" app that you deploy into a local company store. See this tool (built into Teams from Microsoft) to try out creating an app like this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/platform/concepts/build-and-test/app-studio-overview

    2. Use Viva Connections, which provides it's own rail (but you need an entire SharePoint intranet site for this

    3. Use a third party app like Quicklinks which lets you add your own "bookmarks" app in the left rail, for multiple web links.
