Contact list no longer available in new Teams version
When new teams go live, can I keep using the old version? The new version only has a chat list and no contact list. I regularly use my contact list to determine if someone is in the office. ...

Roadmap feature for the New Teams Client. Until it is available better to use Microsoft Teams Old Client in the Web Browser.

RealTime_M365I got switched to the new Teams automatically today. old version no long available. super annoying. can't believe MS will do this.
- dfeiferJul 19, 2023Brass ContributorGuess we will be staying with the old until this feature is added to the client again. Our biggest issue is that we are manufacturing and most of our users have little to no knowledge of computers and the software that comes with it. We have 178 users, most of them know each other mostly by face. so.. each new user i set up I create a company group in their contacts and manually add everyone to the list. Then they can scan through the employee thumbnails to find who they are looking for. Unfortunately I see this getting worse as more people we are hiring lately, especially the younger crowd, have never touched a computer and grew up using tablets or phones.

Hi RealTime_M365,
I have the same issue and have tried the web version and it has the same issue, web will typically get updates first so thats not surprising, is there a link to run the old version in the browser? or a download to install the old client?
i am very confused why microsoft seems to have silently released a new client that is missing fundamental features? is this a bug or did they know in advance they were just wiping a major basic primitive feature?- DMontignyFeb 01, 2024Copper ContributorIt is the MS way...
- bsmuckerNov 30, 2023Copper ContributorI can't focus on all of the new features they're touting because the groupable contact list and presence features are so critical to our organization. Has anyone seen evidence that they'll add that to the new teams?
