Office 365 Groups in Outlook for Mac
Hi,
so we're a couple of months further. No info about Groups in Outlook for Mac on the roadmap.
I hard to "sell" if a neat feature isn't availble on all clients.
In this blog post "Christie" mentions in the comment that it's on the roadmap for this year. https://blogs.office.com/2016/02/17/updates-to-office-365-groups/
MicrosoftIf you have a customer blocking usage of Groups because of MAC, we would like to engage early and may be bring them into early adopter if they are willing. Let us know. Thanks.
- Hi Amit, thanks for the update.
I think the customer want to be part of the early adaption option. I will check with them tomorrow. If you can let me know which info you need ✌🏼We've noticed that you can set up an Office Group on a Mac for calendars, but I don't think it works for Mail. Use the "Open Shared Calendar" option and enter the name of the Group, and the second Groups calendar is displayed next to your own.
- I have a customer of 45 Macs that would be interested in getting this preview for Groups in Outlook for Mac. Also I would be interested in testing this out internally in my office.

If you are in Mac Insider program, you should be geting the Outlook Mac build with Groups in a week or two. Feel free to drop me an email at amitgu@microsoft.com if you have set of users/customers waiting for it. We would like to get connected to get early feedback as we continue to iterate before going world wide.
- Still not seeing it in the Insider Fast build. Anxiously waiting. There isn't a MacOS Groups app similar to the IOS one is there?
Any update here Amit? Nearing the end of Feb and its still not here on the fast insider track?

Starting today, Office 365 Groups in Outlook for Mac will be rolling out gradually to Insider Fast over the new few days! With the first update, you can view your top 10 groups in the folder pane and read/compose/reply to group conversations. We are continually adding new capabilities, and you will see them in future updates.
We’ve also created a group where people can ask questions and share feedback on the early bits of Groups on Mac Outlook. Please little r me with your email address if you want to join the group.
Excellent. Thankyou Maria
