About
Custom Sidebar Links is designed for adding user-selected links to the sidebar. By default, it includes a link to the Stack Overflow Teams website, as well as a link to Google. The links can be customized as desired. For example, one could add a link to a chat room to the sidebar.
This was created because (1) SO Teams are being removed from the sidebar and (b) because having general links (say, to a chat room) could be useful. It was created be me.
The userscript locates the sidebar, adds some misc. HTML elements, and then adds the user-defined links one-by-one, in a loop.

Platform
Tampermonkey userscript - I personally use it on a Chromium-based browser on Windows, but it should also work in other browsers on other platforms with Tampermonkey installed.

Adding/removing links
To add/remove links, there is a section in the userscript that looks like this - just change the URLs/titles as desired, and of course, you can add more lines. For example, to add a link titled Tavern on the Meta with a link to that chatroom, you would add URLs.set("Tavern on the Meta", "https://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/89/tavern-on-the-meta"); to that section.
/// CUSTOM LINKS GO HERE ///
URLs.set("SO Teams Site", "https://stackoverflowteams.com");
URLs.set("Google", "https://google.com");
