Add a Microsoft Planner Plan to Teams

The Tasks by Planner add-in for Microsoft Teams is separate from the standalone Microsoft Planner app. Plans created directly in the Planner web app do not automatically show up in Teams.

To use an existing Planner plan in Microsoft Teams, you must manually connect it to a Team by adding it as a tab.

Add an Existing Planner Plan to a Team in Microsoft Teams

1. Open Microsoft Teams.

2. Go to the Team and channel where you want the plan to appear.

3. At the top of the channel, click the + (Add a tab) button.

4. Choose Tasks by Planner and To Do from the list.

5. Select Use an existing plan.

6. Choose the plan from the list and click Save.

⚠️ If your plan is not listed, it may not be associated with the Team you are currently in. Plans must be created within the same Microsoft 365 Group that backs the Team.
