Microsoft 365 Groups - How they really work!

Andy .... bought my first pc with Microsoft. Question .... I use MailChimp to distribute my newsletter to 35,000 subscribers. Could I use 365 Groups to distribute my newsletter?

Thank you for your video.

Is it possible to delete an Alias from the M365 Group?

When i try it i get an error. „Unified Groups Aren’t supported“

Thank you. 25 minutes made me think, hmm where's the 3 minute video I need to learn about M365 Groups, but actually this was pack full of useful content and worth the additional time.

What if we just need email though? Do we have to go back to the EXO portal? Secondly, how can we utilize dynamic membership rules in Entra using distribution groups (so users can actually expand the group in Outlook to see the members) ?

Andy, would you be able to create a video that shows how the M365 group calendar behaves (adding an item vs inviting and who it invites when you do either) also how you get the send on behalf of via Exch admin etc? The sort of things that distribution lists or shared mailboxes can do, but 365 groups can do as well? Who gets to see the calendar (assuming its been created in MS Outlook so calendar is visible)

Brilliant! Can you have access granted to Team to e.g. 3 dynamic 365 groups AND e.g. 10 individual Users?

cool video as someone new to Office 365. but I would have prefered something more entertaining by a b list comedian full of digs at microsoft and their aweful systems.

Very helpful! Thanks Andy :)

First time viewer.... Just subscribed yr channel!!

Nice video, you said Admin can prevent normal users from creating groups, but It is not mentioned how?
or I just missed it.

Superb Video. Thank you.

Andy, I love your videos. You have taught me so much! The only thing I did not see here was anything mentioned about renaming or updating group names and emails. I was mainly watching this video to learn how to update current group names and emails without breaking anything.

Thank you for this. 1. As an end-user in my organisation, I do not have access to the MS Admin Centre. My problem is, that when officials create Outlook Groups, there is no option to add a Team to the Group. Then those officials go and create a Team as well, adding the Group as a member. Then you sit with two different TeamSites. One for the Group and one for the Team. How do I solve this? Very confusing. We have a default expiry date for both Groups and Teams. 2. Stupid question: should the Team or Group be deleted by the owner, do the SharePoint TeamSites automatically also get deleted?

Great video!
Can you add “invited guests” to be members of these groups? We have roughly 100 independent sales reps that need access to share point libraries. Currently I assign an F3 license to every independent rep. I would like to make all the reps guests so they can use their own MS account and access our resources. Using a group is easier to manage than using a MESG…

Thoughts?

Lovely presented, thank you so much!

Andy, once again you've knocked out of the park! I share all of your videos with fellow IT professionals who...wait for it...WANT TO LEARN! 😉

Can you tell me if it is possible to open the shared mailbox of a m365 group??

Hello- great videos! I created a group and everyone replies to it. Funny thing is a few people cannot delete the messages within their own inboxes. Any thoughts?

This is great, Andy! thank you!

Just joined a university (and am a novice to 365 having previously used Google) where admin rights are held centrally. How can I check whether groups I have created in outlook are the same in teams - I am getting very confused - and when you bring one drive into the mix - bemused - help!

thankyou for this - I was messing about yesterday setting up a distrubtion group and had no idea what I was doing and I discovered lots of new things. I am now somewhat smarter and am keen to follow up on the next steps where my ambitions exceeded my talent.

As usual, thanks for the tutorials

Hi Andy, eg. user has 1 o365-account how many devices (at the same time) user can login and work with these? thanks

Another excellent video with great explanations. Thanks a lot for your great work.

Hello Andy! Thanks for that content! I really appreciate that as I'm getting deeper in O365 platform. Wonderful job!

Andy, I'm thrilled with all this content. I've just had to pass the word of this fantastic channel.

hello Andy, I love your videos. Each time informative and useful! Appreciated it.

Hi Andy, thanks for your work. Is it possible to make m365 groups private by default? I see public option selected by default on the create group screen. Thanks

Hi
Thanks a lot for your videos.
Do you plan to make a presentation about how administer groups, sharedmailboxes and diffusion lists with an hybrid installation linked to a local AD and be able to apply some parameters that would be synced to M365 ?

Dear Andy, once again thank you for a great video. What would you say if the M365 grp is connected to Teams/Yammer for collaboration/conversation, should we hide the grp from the Outlook interface not to confuse the users or should we use both?

Great video. Got a question tho. Do you need exchange online to get a notification before a group is deleted? We are almost full cloud just missing exchange. (Hybrid exchange environment). Been looking at this auto-delete policy but afraid to test it, if group owners dont get notified.

Hello @AndyMalone, I love your videos. They are very informative.
What if I want to use dynamic groups and still be able to invite guests in my Teams channels?

I learn alot from this channel, Thank you Andy!

Hi Andy, i just started watching your videos. Do you have one on migrating data into sharepoint?

Great video!

Merci beaucoup

Thanks!

What is the best way to prevent users from creating M365 groups. I know there Microsoft has published a PowerShell script to do this.

There are a lot of content creators out there but I think Andy is the best.

just found your channel, loved it keep this amazing work please!

Thanks

its like you read my mind ....

Can you please do an MS 365 Modern Desktop Admin Course should you have time Sir.
