External users in office 365 distribution list

[Shadow_Walker]

Is it possible to add external people into an office 365 distribution group?

Couldn't you create a contact within your organisation and add that to the group?

Done that but the users never shows up to add in office 365 or the exchange admin centre when adding them to groups.

Adding a contact is how I've added added external people to dist lists, just tried it in O365 and it's giving me the option. See Image

It may take time. I’ve always created contacts and added them.

1 month should be long enough (I hope!)

Do they show in the contacts list?

Yes they load fine in the contacts list.

Very strange, I've just created one and it showed up in a matter of minutes. I'm not sure what your issue is, how are you creating the contact?

add the user in to the contact then add contacts to the group should work fine then
