7. Click Run Query.

   The results page displays an output similar to this:

   {
   "@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#groups(id,displayName)",
   "value": [
   {
   "id": "035fe18c-7427-40cb-8a4c-371b15a58d6f",
   "displayName": "sg-Operations"
   },

   "displayName": "Mark 8 Project Team"
   },
   .....

8. Locate the group you need and copy the ID displayed above the group name.
   
   

9. Update the query address to match the below:

   https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/groups/<Group ID Here>/members?$select=displayName

10. Click Run Query.

    The results page displays an output similar to this:

    {

    },
    {
    "@odata.type": "#microsoft.graph.orgContact",
    "displayName": "Anthony Skilton"
    }
    ]
    }
