Sometimes it’s better to add the AzureAD module to identify the group with a group name and not group id.

Install-Module AzureAD
Connect-AzureAD -Credential $cred

Get-AzureADGroup -SearchString “TeamsLAB01”

$GroupID=(Get-AzureADGroup -SearchString “TeamsLAB01”).objectid
Get-TeamUser -GroupId $GroupID

Get-TeamFunSettings -GroupId $GroupID | fl
