Assign user automatically to group in Office 365
Dynamic Group Membership
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/groups-create-rule
If the Team is linked to the Group the user will be automatically added upon creation assuming the user has the right attribute.
Hope that answers your question.

WARNING: Using Dynamic Groups does not exclude guest users by default. This means they may be automatically added to a group to which they shouldn't have access to!

First, I can't see " Dynamic user member" case when i create a new group
Second, I would affect new user to already exist group
- Mar 19, 2019Hi youssefch
As per article you would do this in Azure AD, not the 365 control panel
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/groups-create-rule
You would need Azure AD P1 licencing to do it
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/b2b/use-dynamic-groups
You would need to review the existing groups before amending the attributes of users and applying this solution.
However, AFAIK this is the easiest solution which will automatically assign a new user to an Office 365 group/Team upon creation as was the original question
Hope that clarifies!

ChrisHoardMVP The real issues with Dynamic groups is that a user cannot see the members by expanding the distribution list. That option isn't available. We were forced to convert all groups to non-dynamic groups because of this limitation. Basically, each and every user has unique properties (might be a member of 3 main groups, then pick and choose what groups afterwards based on need). The process for replicating group membership via the GUI is very slow and extremely inefficient. More than 5 clicks to add a person to one single group. This time adds up for expanding companies. Microsoft's web GUI is very slow as well, compounding the problem. It would be great if there would be a group picker at account creation without having to script everything. Powershell is complex and haphazard.
