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. ...

Sorry, the People app is not the same thing and it came out months ago. We've talked about it quite a bit over the last couple of thread pages. Opposed to classic teams, new teams still takes too many clicks to see the status of people/groups. The old contacts had a much cleaner/easier layout.

Some of us prefer that software developers quit removing popular features from software and promote the release of the NEW version with less options. Then, when they're called out for it, throw together a cheap fix and call it good.
Would be kind of like Apple updating your phone OS and removing phone calling as an option. Then be surprised that people actually wanted to use that feature.
