Can't link existing plan in Planner to Teams

My team at work has a plan that was created in Planner.  We now want to also start using Teams, but we are unable to link the existing plan to Teams.  When we try to add a Planner tab to a channel, we get the option to "Use an existing plan from this team" or create a new plan, but there's no option to link to an already existing plan in Planner.  Does anyone know how to do this, or can you only link to plans that were created in Teams?

    Hi Carlos.  Thanks for reply, but I have already tried this.  Unfortunately, the option given is Use an existing plan from this team.  When I click on "Existing plans", it doesn't do anything (there is no dropdown list) and there are no plans to choose from.  Do I have to be the owner of the plan in Planner to be able to add it in Teams?

    Hi Laurenla

    Open Planner in Microsoft365.com, select the exisiting plan of interest and copy the URL.

    In MS Teams, select the respective Team & Channel. Click + at the Channel menu to create new Tab. Select the 'Website' app. You may need to 'Search' for this app. 

    In the dialog box, enter the Tab name (Plan name) and paste the plan's URL.

    The existing plan will now be available in the Team Channel.

    Same problem - Any update ? We are in process to migrate our users to E3 license to link every program. Have we wait to see if finally works or not? Thx. 

     MS don’t seem interested, after reviewing what works and what doesn’t i went for Zoho Project and dumped Planner as its too risky to lose all our ‘plans’ - planner nit backed up. We also looked at Project-3 but its very expensive for very little so went for Zoho Projects that gives Planner and Project functionality a lot cheaper and a lot more useful ie: Teams integrations, secure back ups etc. Interestingly i found Zoho through Teams App as it works with it so well.

    sorry MS - when you have a secure cost effective solution I’ll come back as really want everything under one roof - but you dont have that at moment.

    This issue is occurring across THREE different O365 instances for myself and customers included. I would really appreciate an update on this issue.

    Same problem here. Would like to know if it will be possible to link plans created in Planner as opposed to only those created in Teams.
