Office 365 Connectors web part in Communication Sites
Office 365 Connectors within SharePoint are only available for use within group-connected SharePoint team sites, according to https://support.office.com/en-ie/article/use-the-connector-web-part-db0756aa-f78f-4b74-8b19-be5dca0420e1.
Please add support for using Office 365 Connectors also in Communication Sites. For example, I would like to display data from outside by using an RSS Feed connector on a Communication Site page.

Baffling decision. Have users excited to get started on their modern pages in collaboration sites. Now have to tell them that RSS FEEDS are not available. What is this, the 1600s??

Echoing what everyone else has said. We made a organizational decision to not use group sites for our collaboration sites and now are finding all these limitations. Also MS isn't able to tell us the full list of limitations without groups.
Having a group for every site doesn't always make sense especially if several sites would be linked to the same conceptual group.

Would be nice to get an update/feedback from Microsoft on this. Very strange decision that this is not available on communication sites.

Please escalate this functionality as it is holding up a lot of development from being rolled out for a lot of users. Functionality between classic and modern shouldn't have this many differences / limitations / restrictions.

I cannot fathom that Microsoft included an RSS addin that only works on group sites. If Microsoft thinks the technology dead or obsolete, then why include it at all? Probably because it is stil very much in use (on classic publishing portals).

I don't see where an RSS Feed is more valuable than in a Communication Site, where you are trying to give information to the outer group. It's been here for 2 and a half years.

The RSS feed connector would be just one good argument to do that.

Please add connector web parts to communications sites! It enable automated updates of data that is being communicated to the company rather than a manual process.

Seems shocking to me. Shouldn't a communication site be the first it's available on?

It is a much required feature for any Organization to track the user adoption and traffic to the intranet communication site.

I really hope they fix this soon. Really frustrating roadblock for my team. I don't understand why they would only enable them for team sites but not a Communication site??? Wha????

Can anyone confirm if GCC customers can enable the Connectors at the tenant level?
Set-OrganizationConfig -ConnectorsEnabledforTeams:$true

This makes Communication Sites of little value, why restrict the ability to provide 'communication' on a communication site ???

I agree why would this be limited to Group connected sites only?

I agree with the other commenters here, why would this be limited to Group connected sites only? There are so many great features available in general but for some big differences we make the end user choose between using a Group site or Communication site. Why not let users configure either template as we'd like- e.g. horizontal or left navigation, connect to an O365 group or not, add these connectors if needed, etc.?

Fire the guy that thought it would be a good idea to make Communication Sites without creating a Groups, then fix it by making them have Groups and everything is solved.
