Outlook groups - how to send emails from Groups
Hi, Is there a way to send emails from Microsoft 365 groups similar to distribution groups/security groups? I need to use a specific group to send emails rather than individual email addresses I have added the email address to my "From" section but it says I do not have permissions to send from the specific group. I own the group and can't see any option in the group to add permissions so looking for advice on what to do next? Thanks, Áine
Change O365 groups e-mail adress using Power Automate Cloud Flow.
How can I change the email address of an O365 group using a Power Automate Cloud Flow? In particular, the suffix of the email address. The background is that we create team groups using a flow and always want the suffix of the sub-company to be used, to which the respective user belongs. (......@sub-company.de)
A problem with storage space.
I have a problem with storage space. When I first registered in the program, I had enough space. Then suddenly the space became not enough. Now I am unable to open the email and I am able to use the program. Of course, I mean the program that is OneDrive. Now I can't open my personal email. Note that the program was sufficient for all the data I have now, and I do not know what has changed. May God bless him, Samra. If I have a solution to this problem, send me this email. Thank you. email address removed for privacy reasons
M365 Groups is too confusing for users
M365 Groups has been confusing for end-users for a very long time now. I think the strategy of keeping M365 Groups loosely coupled with Outlook, Engage, Teams, SharePoint from a collaboration standpoint is causing users to get lost around that question of "What tool and when?". I think it would be better for Microsoft to instead have M365 Groups tightly coupled behind the scenes in a way where users don't even know they exist. Maybe even get rid of the name altogether. I get it that M365 Groups have been around longer than many of the other apps. However, in the new "Collaboration" world we live in now, I don't really understand why anyone would create a group for collaboration without either creating a Team or an Engage community. Why would you create a group from Outlook or SharePoint? It made sense before Teams and Engage came on the scene. But now that those tools are out, Microsoft needs to simplify the messaging a bit.... Teams - for collaborating to get work done (includes calling, personal/group chat, channel conversations, team email, centralized notes, and task management) Engage - to share knowledge across the organization; break down silos and provide a platform for Q&A (includes a site to store knowledge and a social layer for discussions and Q&A) SharePoint Communication Site - to publish information to a large audience with granular permissions. (no need to even mention SharePoint Team sites anymore...those have been taken over by Teams) Outlook - for very targeted and controlled communication The M365 Group should be tightly coupled with a Team so that users can only change permissions from Teams; they shouldn't be able to go to the connected SPO site to change the SharePoint permissions; that can lead to team content being compromised without other owners/team members even being aware...then they start to distrust the safety of Teams. Users also shouldn't be able to create folders on the team connected site. That bucks the whole idea of having channel creation drive the parent-level folder structure...which can reduce visibility of content for team members. In fact, why not make it so users can't even navigate to SharePoint? Make it so everything is managed from Teams. The M365 Group should be tightly coupled with an Engage community in a very similar way to Teams. However, it would be nice if there was an easy way for community admins to decide whether or not members should be able to create/update/delete content that is stored on the community connected site. That way, you could provide a controlled knowledge base of information for consumption but still allow members the ability to have discussions, ask questions, and upload files to the social layer of the product. Same here, why not make it so users can't even navigate to SharePoint? Make it so everything is managed from Engage. It would also be nice if you could enable External Guest access on a community-by-community basis. Right now, you either enable it for all communities or disable it for all communities. For SharePoint, do away with SharePoint Team Sites. Since those come with all the collaboration tools AND a push button option to deploy a connected Team anyway, why not just eliminate this altogether and just make it so users can only create SharePoint Communication Sites? For collaboration, they would create a Team. For Outlook...it's email. Why bolt on collaboration tools on top of it? If users want collaboration, they should create a Team. I could be wrong...but it just seems like keeping all these tools loosely connected is just creating a lot of confusion. If Microsoft tightened things up a bit so that the end user experience for each scenario is from one tool instead of allowing a user to go to the Team, the team connected site, and the related M365 group, it would reduce a lot of the confusion. I'd be interested in hearing how others feel about the topic 🙂
Welcome Group link not woring
Hi, I saw a similar error someone had posted awhile back with the error saying, "Your request couldn't be completed. Please try again. If the problem continues, contact your email admin." when clicking on the welcome email to join a group but I couldn't find a solution that fit what I would need to do. I shared a screenshot and covered the name of the group (for privacy reason). Is this a result of an invalid link? I am not sure what I would need to do to resolve the issue.ownerless group policy for large numbers of ownerless groups
Has anyone enabled the ownerless group policy in a tenant where it would surpass the 10k messages per day Exchange mailbox limit?

Hi all, I'm having an issue setting up meetings in Outlook. I click the date in the calendar, input all information, then Invite Attendees and input the relevant staff. The issue is, once an Attendee accepts the meeting and checks their calendar invite, it no longer lists the Attendees. We all need to know who will be attending and it's not possible once the meeting request has been accepted as the original email disappears. Hoping someone can help with this!Outlook for Windows 10 PC Won't Send Group Email

Hello, I would like to create a dynamic group for all users except those with a Microsoft 365 Business Premium licence.

We are excited to announce that Ownerless Groups Governance Policy for Microsoft 365 groups is now available in GCC tenants. The policy will help you automate the management of ownerless Microsoft 365 groups in your tenant. Teams, Communities, Outlook groups, Team Sites etc. powered by M365 Groups support two roles: members and owners. Members can collaborate with others in the group through files, emails, messages etc. Owners manage the group membership and monitor content & conversations. When employees leave an organization or switch projects internally, it results in their existing user accounts getting deleted. If such employees were group owners, keeping track of their groups becomes critical to ensure accountability within the organization. The Ownerless Groups Governance Policy helps automate the management of ownerless groups by requesting active members to become owners of the group. Admins can define who is eligible for these notifications and configure what notifications and how often these notifications are sent to active group members. Users, who are members of the ownerless groups can simply accept or decline request via the actionable email message. To learn more, check out:Manage ownerless Microsoft 365 groups and teams
Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK Module OneDrive Folder Permissions Assignment
As an M365 Global Admin, I have been tasked with creating a new folder in other users OneDrive root folder (Documents) we can call that folder 'myFolder', then I need to assign a Microsoft Azure Security group ('myGroup') to that folder with read/write permissions. I have a list of users (taking input from txt file of UPNs), and am able to loop through the users and create the folder, so step one is possible, but where I am failing is the assignment of the permissions, am using PowerShell 7 and the MS Graph PowerShell Mod, actually for the folder creation I used the API and invoke-method, but I am running into problems since OneDrive is on top of SharePoint, I am not sure how to accomplish this task. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I've been searching for a way to embed Microsoft 365 Group calendars inside my company's website. However, I can't find a way to do it. Is it possible? I've tried to add the the group calendars in Outlook using a service account (licensed) and then publish that account's calendar, but this doesn't show the events from the group accounts, it only shows the personal events. I've also tried to use the "group calendar" web part to add the calendar to a sharepoint page, this kinda works but unfortunately it only show a list of upcoming events, it doesn't let you chose a different view (I need the "month" view) Is there any solution to this?Throttling issues when applying sensitivity labels via PowerShell
We need to apply a base sensitivity label for over 200 teams by following the scripts here:How to Apply Sensitivity Labels to Existing Teams (practical365.com)but after applying labels to 4 or 5 teams (groups), we're getting throttling errors. We've tried putting a 30-second delay between command executions, but it's not helping. Is there a better way to do this, other than to keep trying longer sleep times?Teams Channel Group Calendar - Month View in SharePoint instead of list
We have a SharePoint site for a large group within our organisation. There is a Teams channel associated with this group that we use to coordinate recurring events in the group calendar, i.e. these regular events are created from within the Teams Group inviting group members. We want to add a calendar view on the SharePoint site that provides a 'month-by-month' view of the Group Calendar events. When we try to so this all we can get is a list of upcoming events with no option to view in a standard Outlook/Desktop calendar view. Am I missing something? How do I get the Teams Channel Group Calendar to appear in a familiar calendar view in SharePoint? Thank youRestoring Planners and their Microsoft Group
