Microsoft Office 365 Groups is a service that works with the Office 365 tools you use already so you can collaborate with your teammates when writing documents, creating spreadsheets, working on project plans, scheduling meetings, or sending email.
An Office 365 group can be set as private (invitation only) or public (available to all). This article will provide the steps necessary to join an existing public Office 365 group.
