Adding Azure AD groups to Office 365 groups

Is it, one way or the other, possible to add groups from Azure AD to a Office 365 group? Or is it possible to make an Azure AD group (synced from AD) behave as an Office 365 Group? The reason I ask, is because I want to use this group in Stream.

  • You cannot nest other Group types inside of O365 Group. The Stream relationship with Groups is unfortunate in this regards...

      When I’m in Azure AD and I create a group there I have the ability to enable Office functions. When I do this, I have a Group. This G(g)roup has the same functionalities as a Group made in the O365 portal. However, I can now also use the G(g)roup, made in Azure AD, for the license piece.

      When I compare in PowerShell a group created in Azure AD and in the O365 Portal, I do not see any differences except the alias.

      How can I see the difference between a G(g)roup made in Azure AD and a Group made in the O365 Portal.

        You have to be more specofic here, both places allow you to create a variety of group types. The easiest way to tell the group type via PowerShell is to check the recipienttypedetails proerty, but that's only available for groups recognized by Exchange Online.

      I am having a azure AD group which contains 100 members. Instead of adding 100 members as group members, i want to add azure AD as group member. But while searching for group it is not giving me azure AD group. Azure AD doesn't have email, is that the reason?
