- May 09, 2019Hi glura,
Stream groups are built using Office 365 groups.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/groups-channels-overview#office-365-groups
Therefore you can bulk add users to the Office 365 group which will sync over to the stream group
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/stream/portal-manage-groups
A good way to do this is Powershell

Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris

mcoulter315 I am running outlook for Office 365 on Windows 10 - go to contact (I click on the little people icon in the lower left corner) Right click anywhere in middle or right hand window where your contacts are listed and select new contact group. Give the group a name and click on Add members button, select from outlook contacts, and in the field marked members paste your semicolon separated contact list (just the emails separated by semicolons ; ) click OK, then save and close the group.

to anyone following this: THIS IS WRONG.
Why? Because what it actually creates is a "Contact Group" not an "Office 365 Group". Unfortunately, this is an easy mistake to make. Our staff used to do this all the time.
