Office 365 Groups in Outlook for Mac
To join Insider Fast program, open any Office 2016 for Mac application, such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, or Outlook. On the Help menu, select Check for Updates. Select the check box to Join the Office Insider program, and then choose Insider Fast from the menu.
For more info, please refer to this site: https://products.office.com/en-us/office-insider?tab=tab-2#Tabs_section
Just to reemphasize, we're rolling this out to Insider Fast and not at 100% yet. Hope to get there on the coming days. So some will start seeing this feature enabled in their app while others won't even though they have the same builds.
About how long after enable the Fast ring till groups should show up?

Hi Paul,
Could you ask your admin to file a ticket from Mac Outlook by going to Help > Contact Support so we can get more information about his/her app session (build number, environment he/she is in, etc)?
Thank you,

Hi Maria
Most of the users can see Groups, but a few can't. One in particular is the Admin of the test group & a member of it. Yet cannot see the Groups icon in Folder Pane.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Dean,
Yes, with the first update, you can only read/compose/reply to group emails and view your top 10 groups in the folder pane. In our next update (targeted for end of this month), we're planning to expose web links to files, notebook, etc in group contact card.

Hi Paul,
With Business premium, they should be able to see groups in the folder pane if they are a member of at least one group. If they're not a member of any groups, they can join one through Outlook on the web (link to support article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Join-a-group-in-Outlook-2e59e19c-b872-44c8-ae84-0acc4b79c45d?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US).
Let me know if they're still not seeing groups even after joining one.

Hi Maria
Can you tell me which versions of O365 this has been enabled in?
I have the groups ability in my tenancy -E3 - but my customers on Business Premium don't see it - same build/Fast Insider
Any help appreciated

Hi Maria,
Really glad to see that Groups is finally available on the Mac. It has been exposed on my version, but all I am seeing is the emails - no files, etc. Is this normal?
Thanks.
