Disable viewing Groups in Outlook (Web and Desktop)

The HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled flag hides a group (or another mail-enabled recipient) from Exchange Online address lists. The HidefromExchangeClients flag is completely different and prevents Exchange clients (OWA and Outlook) even realizing that groups marked with this flag exist. https://www.petri.com/hiding-office-365-groups-exchange-clients
As to hiding the Groups root, I don't think this is possible even when someone belongs to zero groups.
You can't. But the good news is that we will soon have a feature that will hide any Team-authored Groups from the Outlook client, so users will not see them there. Check out the Roadmap item here: https://products.office.com/en-us/business/office-365-roadmap?featureid=26955
I don’t think that’s what it means. All that does is hide it from the address list by default. The groups will still show in outlook.Technically, it does nothing currently. But it will hide it from Exchange clients, eventually :)
Patience is a virtue. All the moving parts must be updated before the full glory of this change is revealed.

- Nice. Learned something new today. Thanks for that tidbit
Sounds good to me! Does this also apply to Teams created with SchoolDataSync SDS?
