Microsofthow to add multiple members to private group?
I would like to create a private group for videos intended for only this group to view. This group would have over 300 members. I have only seen options to add 1 member at a time.

- Hi 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!

gluraThanks ChrisHoardMVP. I finally got back to trying to bulk add members. I was able to go to the O365 group using outlook online and add members there. It allowed me to provide a o365 group for a Microsoft Teams team that are the audience for this Stream group. It added the 290 members. I first tried to doing the same though the Outlook desktop client, but that failed, complaining of too many members.
thanks,
gary
@Christopher Hoard - how can this be done and also have the "You have been added to a team in Microsoft Teams" message go out to each member?
- Hi Frank_Adorney
I am unsure what you mean here. This string is about bulk adding users to Microsoft Stream Groups not to Microsoft Teams. You would usually do that in Powershell. Bulk adding users to a Team would add them to the Office 365 Group which would sync over to the Stream group. When adding users to a Team it ought to send out an email message. Are you not seeing this?
Best, Chris
