Hi All
Hope everyone is well. I needed some advice. When creating a new Team, do you recommend creating the Team first, which from the looks of things creates an Office 365 Group behind the scenes, or manually create the group and then the Team?
Reason I ask is because I created a Team and added my regular domain account as the owner. I also added some members to test. I, with my regular domain account, can see the Team in the Teams app but I do not see the group in my list of groups in Outlook. The other staff can see the Team in the Teams app and can also see the group in Outlook. Even if I check via OWA I cannot see the group.

Hi Adam, Thank you for prompt reply. Much appreciated. I wasn't referring to seeing the group in the GAL. I mean't I cannot see the group in the groups view in Outlook. I managed to figure something out thou. When I created the team in the Teams admin portal I added my regular domain account as a team owner but not a team member. I was under the impression that making someone a team owner will automatically add them to the team, which it did, and then it will automatically add them to the Office 365 group, which it did.....partially. After adding my account as a member to the team the underlying 365 group appeared almost instantly in Outlook.

Thank you gents for all the help.
One last question.....if you got an Office 365 group.....how do you create a team based on that? Or add the Teams functionality to that group?

@adam deltinger I think they're referring to when you do it from teams, Teams actually asks if you want to use an existing 365 group, but what if that group doesn't exist? Should you go to 365 admin portal and create it first?
