Contact list no longer available in new Teams version
I will add my voice to this thread. I found small area of "Contact List" and the Contact Groups within it a (clunky) workaround for handling multiple department contacts. The obscenely HUGE (and frankly pointless) history display in the same window was just salt in the wound.
I hoped a better user experience would be available in "new" Teams, but it seems what little that made it bearable has been removed (in classic Microsoft fashion). I reverted within 2 minutes of trying the "new" version.
The ability to group contacts makes a nasty UI a bit better to use. Losing it seems counter-intuitive to anything approaching a smooth workflow for anyone with multiple contacts in multiple departments.
Skotzmun As mentioned above, the People app is the replacement for Contacts in the new Teams client, might not be available to everyone yet but it is coming.
- people app is not better
- I agree , its not. but if people are forced to be on it. At least we found where they tried to hide this unfinished parody feature requirement.
StevenC365 don't know if you've seen that this is now available, unfortunately it doesn't show presence on the main view, only if you click in to each item in the list can you see the user status.
Not sure how the resolution to an issue which has been so clearly explained and documented could be so poorly thought out. It's almost as though MS have intentionally left out the 1 requirement that everyone is asking for!
