Does Microsoft Teams use Global Address List (organization) contacts?
You can search for people in your organisation but there is no address book were you can list all persons in your organisation. You search in the search bar.
You can also search for contacts in your own contact list from outlook. Calls > Contacts > Find a contact
Why there is no address book in Teams like in Outlook? I guess that it has not been requested enough for Microsoft to create it. But there is a uservoice requesting this, vote for it and spread it and Microsoft might consider to implement it.

we have 100's of people, adding them one by one in contacts is tough.LinusCansby
It's beyond retarded.
Dev: Maybe we should grab the Address info that admins fill out when they create accounts. People might find that useful.
MS Boss: Nah, who need to see a list of people they work with in chat interface?????????
Mik Hartel Sorry about that. Vote for the uservoice, talk to Microsoft contacts like your SDM. Promote this uservoice on social media to get others to vote for it and get attention from Microsoft. I think it is a good feature that will be useful in Teams.
Obviously I'm missing something here. The whole point of MS teams was (I thought) to seamlessly connect different parts of business life and to get to use a video conferencing/file upload programme. How do I do that if I can't add users from outside the organisation and inside the organisation?
- You can add internal contacts by searching for them. Click on the new chat icon and type the name of the person you want to contact. If it is an external user just type their full email address.
This topic was about the question to have a central managed address book.
