How to ensure Teams groups appear in Outlook?

From what I've read, a group created with Teams should appear in Outlook. That's not the case for me.  When I created the team last week, it would appear / disappear from different devices and apps with no rhyme or reason. Today, it seems it's unavailable on all apps. When I click on Conversations in the SharePoint site, I get a redirect error 500.  

 

When I look at other groups in Outlook, there's an option to 'Follow in Inbox' and it shows Outlook, Calendar, Groups, and Files under Apps. For the Teams-created group, it only shows Teams, Notebook, Site, and Planner. 

  • A while back, Microsoft introduced a change to "hide" all Teams-enabled groups form Outlook. Apparently, to reduce confusion. The fix is to toggle the -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled property via PowerShell:

    Set-UnifiedGroup Team688 -HideFromExchangeClients:$false

      VasilMichev Since I do not want Team groups to show up in Outlook, would I use this command?

      Set-UnifiedGroup Team688 -HideFromExchangeClients:$true

       

      I'm namely speaking of the list of all Teams appearing in Groups in Outlook.

      Thank you! I also found this article to back up what you've said https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/some-teams-not-showing-up-in-groups-within-outlook/60dec20a-3e33-4a62-b38d-ccb2e23171ae

      A minor tweak, I had to use the syntax on that page which included -Identity.
      Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "<Group Name>" -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled:$false
