Office 365 groups not visible in Outlook client

It seems that your groups are hidden by default to show them in outlook you have to change it via Powershell.
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Legal Department" -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $false

That worked thanks a lot. It's not user friendly practice to make it hidden by default when, Microsoft has disabled message delivery into personal mailbox folder from group email.

Some Groups are in the Outlook list and some are not. And that is true on PCs in my office, home and laptop. If the default was not visible, how could some be visible and some not?

It depends on how the groups was created.
A O365 group created in the Teams client will automatically be hidden in Outlook (groups) and the Exchange addressbook.
O365 groups created in any other tool will NOT be hidden anywhere, not even if it created in the Teams Admin portal.
So groups made in Outlook for PC, Outlook Web Access, Exchange Admin portal, Azure AD Groups, etc - the list grows long. All these groups will be seen in Outlook per default.- tp_ahaasJul 28, 2021Copper Contributor
Has Microsoft documented this somewhere? I can't seem to find it other than your comment.

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your reply! I did double-check and I am using cached mode. I will look at the Powershell option also.

Is there a delay when setting a group "unhidden" through Powershell? Because the group is not showing up in my Outlook offline/online client.
