Understanding Microsoft 365 Groups Vs Teams Deep Dive

[@Bright_life_tv]

This was amazingly. Even two years after the video was recorded it is still helpful and a game changer! Cheers, mate.

[@Oscar.Carmona]

I just want to say you explained things really well! And it want very well broken down. In comparison to so many videos. THANK YOU for this valuable info.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Thanks very much that means a lot to me 😊👍

[@FarhanKhan-vb3up]

Groups are Teams & Teams are Groups... This line explains everything. Thank you Andy.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

You’re welcome 👍

[@AJ-fl9il]

I would say this is the most useful information that I have ever learned in a short period of time I spoke to 365 support azure everyone none of them explained the full picture like it’s explained here , very well done Sir

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Many thanks indeed

[@RoyalGoal]

Andy, I found this really helpful. Thank you for throwing this together!

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

You’re welcome 👍

[@richardwaldron1684]

Yet again you save the day Andy, this was confusing the heck out of me.. Thanks for posting.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Glad to help

[@GearsBusinessSolutions]

Thanks for the research and info: sure wish you had presented MS Teams and Azure separately. Consider not combining in same presentation. fundamentally, companies have already decided which of the two platforms to use, albeit from another video you may have created to compare the two :)

[@ra-sal-ghul]

Great Video, i like your series. But here is something slighty wrong: a "mail-enable Security group" is not(!) a security group with a mailbox. It's a security group with a distribution list. Mailbox and distribution groups are different things

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

You know what? You got me! I knew that. Of course the difference between a mail enabled security group and a mailbox enabled is that you are correct and mail enable security group maps to a distribution list. Thanks for pointing that out great detective powers, I love it🤩

[@ra-sal-ghul]

Excellent video

[@largpack]

I was hoping to learn more about where I can use the m365 groups. Can i use them for security purposes in power BI or for permissions in stuff like power apps

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

You would create a security group rather than collaborative M365 group as you can set permissions on these.

[@dharanis6231]

Thanks for the video

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

My pleasure!

[@kdonnelly81]

Another great video Andy!

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Thanks Karl I appreciate that :-)

[@najibkhan684]

Hi Andy, When we create an O365 group, does it occupy the space of the user mailbox or there is a different space being given?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

No it creates a group mailbox

[@riettefourie8928]

As an end-user without Admin rights, I just want to understand something: If you add a Team to a Group, will that mean that there will only be one SharePoint TeamSite? Reason I am asking is that in my organisation, we are allowed to for instance create an Outlook Group, but there is no option to add Teams to the Group. Some officials then go ahead and also create a Team (and add the Group as a member). In my mind, the Group will have its own SharePoint TeamSite and the Team will have a different SharePoint TeamSite. How do we resolved this issue as end-users? I would have loved to rather just work in Teams, and be able to add an Outlook Contact Group (distribution list) as a member of the Team, but Teams only pick up Groups. Our projects involves large numbers of people, and to add everybody individually to a Team, is certainly not what Microsoft had in mind?

[@willemzeeschilder6818]

When you use a app like list, en you start to work with it.. is there any form of a backup? It ‘s not in the sharepoint document library…

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Lists a loosely tied to SharePoint, and OneDrive for business. So technically your data is stored in a similar way.

[@willemzeeschilder6818]

Thanks Andy , your ‘re a real good teacher ,

[@prabavathiarunachalam980]

How to create distribution grop for outside organisation users and how to give permission to access for outside users to distribution groups?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

A distribution group is just a contact list. You cannot assign permissions. Create a mail enabled security group :-)

[@varindervirk-u4m]

Hi, Can you please tell me if we just send email to 365 group email id ?which created while creating M365 group. I have created M365 group but not showing its email id in our email listing when I compose new email.

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Checked group properties to ensure that you can receive email from external sources and also check to see if the email address is not hidden. also, what license are you using? If it’s a low end license, this could be causing issues.

[@sherzar]

I have created group. in outlook as everyone can make it, can I create a Teams channel without Admin portal?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Unfortunately not. A group cannot be converted to a team in this way.

[@ahsadmin3665]

Thanks Andy, very useful. I wonder if you have come across this illogical 'feature' in groups/teams? If you email a team from Outlook (using it as a distribution list) it does not send the email to the team owners!? I find that mad. 🙄

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

It's a permissions thing. Use a Microsoft 365 Group / Team instead as Distribution groups have limitations, noticeably security!

[@theresaregan1648]

Can you create a group after a team is already created and then link the group to the existing team?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Unfortunately not.

[@MrYogipogi]

if we allow let admin only to create office365 groups what is its impact on users who want to collaborate on teams, i mean can they create groups on teams?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

No they will not be able to create Teams. This policy may also add to admin workload.

[@kumard3571]

Thanks Andy good video 😊. ❤️

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@jackquarantillo5192]

Groups are Teams, Teams are Groups, yet somehow at my organization, I'm a member of a ton of teams, but only see 3 of those Teams in Groups. Is this something I can control, or do I need the admins to fix it? I have the permissions to create teams. I think I can also create groups...

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

All to do with permissions. Plus you won't see them in groups, depending on where they were created.

[@santoshchoudhary120]

good Explanation!

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Glad it helped!

[@hurmzyaroo8742]

Hi Andy, Would it be possible to add course slides to read offline

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Not at the moment, but this is something I'm looking at for the future :-)

[@StjepanWerft]

Can a guest (external user) be invited to Microsoft 365 group?

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Yes

Great video Andy

Thank you 😊

[@christophegoffard1743]

Hi Sir, That is again a great, clear and helpful video. Many thanks for that 👍 I have only one question: how can I change the default domain address (and replace it by another I manage within O365) for a Microsoft 365 group created in Microsoft O365 admin centre? Thank you in advance. Christophe

[@AndyMaloneMVP]

Thanks kindly. This video in DNS will do the trick I think 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5XNXqiXZr-ffdE

This was extremely helpful, and that's an understatement. However, I am wandering if we're all going to pretend like he didn't change from "Stirling IT dept" to "Stirling IT Staff".
