Add Office365 Group Member without Email Notification
Hey Tammy Emond,
I think I should be able to help you out!
There is not a way to my knowledge to do this in outlook or the O365 GUI, but there is a way to do this in Powershell.In Powershell O365 groups use the commands that are around "unified groups," which was an old name for what became O365 Groups. There is an attribute in there that is called a welcome message.
So for each group you wanted to do this on, you would need to run the following in Exchange Online Powershell.
Set-UnifiedGroup <groupname> -UnifiedGroupWelcomeMessageEnabled $false
To turn it back on, just pass the same command with $true

Yes it is working, (without Powershell)petersonhd your boos is a genius:)
1) Create a new Team (in Teams) - by creation of the Team: link it with the existing mail Group.
2) Add members to the Team, it will be immediately visible in the mail Group without any e-mails.
- To fix it now you need to run the follow:
set-UnifiedGroup -identity <group-email> -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false
eg:
set-UnifiedGroup -identity email address removed for privacy reasons -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false
*You need to have the group created without users and run the command as above after getting connected to ExchangeOnline through PowerShell.
