Distribution List To Add to Teams Group
When creating a new group in Teams, I can see the option to add via distribution list. However, I'm not sure whether this refers to an email distribution list already existing within the organisation (i.e: if in Outlook we have an "ALL 1st Year STUDENTS" email distribution list, can I add "ALL 1st year STUDENTS" to bulk enrol everyone into the group?), or Teams-related distribution lists of some sort? Even if I can use an email list, I understand it's not dynamic - i.e if the distribution list was updated, the group would not be - but if we can create email distribution lists to then bulk add members to a group (at least when it is created - doesn't seem possible after?), this would solve issues we are having with Microsoft not integrating with our student admin system. The solution we've been offered is to make a static link to a meeting, and then manage who can access this link via our (non-Microsoft) VLE (pasting it into restricted access folders/pages to dynamically control who can access, relevant to enrolled student groups). We've been told this is because we can't batch add students to Teams. This is a poor option, ofc., and I feel that a distribution list, and some manual updating, would solve this? Thanks!
