I noticed the same issue. In the past it was possible to add members through a Distribution List (DL) but is no more. In my organization (School) we use it a lot. Can you enable it again please?

I got a solution for this (and another problem also). The DL is working but MS Teams, at this moment (and this is the change noticed) it only gives one match so you must insert almost the complete name of the group/DL. However, if you have another group with the same name+some more characters, it will not show it.

 

Example.

 

DL 1 name: 123_test_group_1

DL 2 name: 123_test_group_11

 

If you type 123_tes_group_1 nothing will appear because you have two DL matching and (as I can figure out) MS Teams can't manage it. (Note that this was working some weeks ago. Some update to the app did this)
