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. ...

Hi Dianne_NZ ,
Try to click on "Calls" tab on the left panel and you should be able to see "View Contacts" on the top right.
Hope it helps 🙂

KengSeong99 that takes you to the new "People" app which does not include presence, so doesn't fit the requirements.

I’m not saying this isn’t a real pain vs the old Contacts List (I truly miss it), but Presence is available within the People App - at least on an individual basis, you just have to dig deeper.
It’s not perfect – and I hope they update the People App in the future to bring back what has been lost in terms of functionality from what was in the old Contacts List.
- Open People App
- Click a category, then click a name from your list of contacts.
- Click Contact
- presence status shows in the box below

abesso Is the people app a separate app or is it part of the new teams? I don't see it anywhere.
