Are you still thinking in Distribution lists?

Working with a lot of customers, allows me to see a lot of different things and how comapnies work. I still see some confusion about O365 groups and the traditional distribution lists in Exchange. So sometimes I prefer to organize a meeting to explain some of the features that each of the solutions has, and then set a plan focused on the way of working of the company. So here it is the main point about O365 Groups and DL.
