Making a Outlook Group with an Existing MS Team

Question

We have a Team in Teams that we would like to make a group in outlook as well, so that the file sharing will be in the same place for Outlook Group and Team.

Is this possible? It seem pretty straightforward making a group into a team but not the other way.

Cheers

There is no "other way" because every Team already has a Group behind it. You simply need to "unhide" it as Microsoft recently introduced a change that removes any such groups from the Outlook view. Use this:
&nbsp;
Set-UnifiedGroup teamxxx -HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled $false
&nbsp;
Now I suppose it depends on where you created the group initially, but that's the general idea.

Don’t forget the : (comma)  🙃HiddenFromExchangeClientsEnabled: $false

VasilMichev&nbsp;Thanks very much for the help. I'm not quite smart enough to follow how to change that setting.&nbsp;Where would I go to do that?&nbsp;Cheers,&nbsp;Tim

You need to connect to Exchange Online PowerShell, then execute the cmdlet:&nbsp;https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/exchange/exchange-online/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell/connect-to-exchange-online-powershell?view=exchange-ps
