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.   ...

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 Thanks for this I really would have never found it.. so now that we know the new teams has access to presence info, why not just put it on the master contact list (or where ever a contact is displayed).  It can't be that hard to do.  Perhaps a Wishlist item?
