Office 365 groups not visible in Outlook client
- DeletedOct 19, 2018
It seems that your groups are hidden by default to show them in outlook you have to change it via Powershell.
Set-UnifiedGroup -Identity "Legal Department" -HiddenFromAddressListsEnabled $false

I have just created a new Group in the admin portal. I added 2 Owners and the group did not show up in Outlook, for the Owners.
I then added the Owners as Members also, and the Group showed up in Outlook within 20 seconds.
When you look in the Group they are only visible as Owners.
Thank you for this solution, worked for me! Drove me nutz! Still trying to figure it out, it seems like there is a delay between creating groups in Microsoft 365 and having them show up in SharePoint/Outlook (takes hours/day)… tyPoul_Erik_Sorensen

It-Works This worked for me as well. I wonder if it may be that owners don't automatically have the mailbox show up in their Outlook by design. Perhaps the system is trying to accommodate someone who may be an administrator who is creating groups but doesn't necessarily want to see all the emails. This gives you the option of doing so by also becoming a member as well as an owner.
