Exchange Contacts and Teams
Question Should contacts added via https://admin.microsoft.com/Adminportal/Home#/Contact Be visible \ searchable in teams? Notes In my test and production tenant the answer is no. eg Adding...

In summary
Do not expect to see results for EXO contacts in teams.
Another area I also explored was "mail enabled users". While they do appear in a search via a friendly name they act very much like guest accounts. ie mail flow works to external address but IMs stay within the org and do not go to an external federated company.
Thanks for the reply.
When you say "Microsoft doesn't support Azure AD contacts in Microsoft Teams" _ is this documented anywhere?
Why was the MS engineer able to demonstrate that is appeared to work for him.
Thanks for the suggestion of your application

Sorry, can't help out with an official docs article. It's just testing and searching the web.
And it's my experience from several Microsoft Temas Phone System projects in my daily work as UC consultant 😉

- Understood and thanks. Feature ID: 93050 removed a lot of pain for telephony but this feature relates to personal outlook contacts.
The requirement I have is to allow a search for and then IM a federated company based on finding a friendly name in the GAL- I have some final feedback

It has been added to general availability that Exchange contacts with phone numbers are visible in teams calling options. Although in my demo environment I can only see some and not all of the contacts (I think it's sync time).
Microsoft Teams: Exchange Contacts available in Calling pickers
Exchange contacts with associated phone numbers will be available as part of the drop down selection in all Calling people pickers, such as the Dialer or call transfer, for customers that have PSTN enabled.
