Groups not showing up in Outlook 2016
I have Groups setup in 365 but I cannot see them in the left panel of Outlook 2016, and when I browse for Groups, I do not see the Groups. Any ideas? Thank you.
- Jan 10, 2019This is by default!!
To get them visible in outlook use powershell with the option:
hiddenfromexchangeclientsenabled
- set to false
See here for instructions:

Hi Chris,
I get an error when trying to run Powershell script:
Jan 10, 2019
Have you run as administrator, connected to Office 365 Powershell and have the cmdlets installed?

If that doesn't work then I would recommend seeing if a profile recreation resolves it as per article here

When I login to my Outlook on the web and do Discover Groups, I can search and find a couple of my groups but others do not show. I am wondering if the Groups that don't appear were setup incorrectly. When I look in the Admin of 365, all the Groups are setup as Office 365 group type. I did notice that the group aliases for the groups that do show up have a weird address that looks like this:
SPO:SPO_a79bfaf9-1c31-4e46-8aa1-685be61579fb@SPO_213d2abe-37c2-40af-8c3f-d59261ce0dd8
and the groups that do not show up do not have that
- Jan 10, 2019Are these groups create when you create a team in Team? Or did you create them from outlook?

The groups that I cannot find were created in Teams and the groups that I can find were created in 365 Admin
