How to add Distribution List on Exchange

I have another account where I can add contacts and groups into distribution lists as the account is signed up via GoDaddy.

My other account is just a normal outlook emailing account and when I sign into the Exchange Admin centre theres no option for this. I was looking for some help on how to add a distribution list onto this and to add all my emailing contacts on there instead of just on the group section on outlook.

I'm new to all of this so might be a simple fix, any help would be appreciated! Thanks

    Hi @JAD Admin

    Thank you for posting your question in Microsoft Q&A. 

    We understand that you are considering adding another account to a Distribution List group in your tenant. Based on your description, it appears that you are using a personal or business account that is not part of the same tenant. 

    You could follow these steps: 

    Add contact in your tenant: 

    Go to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. 

    In the left pane, navigate to Users -> Contacts. 

    Select Add a contact, then enter the account information. 

    Click Add to save the contact. 

    Wait approximately 10 minutes for the changes to sync.

    Add a contact to a Distribution List: 

    Go to Team&Groups in  -> Activeteam&Groups  

    Select the Distribution List you want to update. 

    Click Members -> View all and manage members -> Add members. 

    Choose the Mail Contact you just created.

    I have created a group/distribution list but unsure how to add contacts in so they can be then added as members into the group.
