How do we export and import Teams Chat Contacts ?
In the teams app under chat we have created a list of contacts. How do we export and import these Teams Chat Contacts? Note, we have three Microsoft 365 accounts, so we would like these contacts to be sync'd or at manually sync'd ( eg via export and import). Thank you
please check this resource: How to export Migrated Teams Chat from outlook and import to MS Team - Microsoft Q&A
sorry but that link doesn't address my use case?
Exporting Teams chat contacts:
- Sign in to the Microsoft Teams desktop app.
- Click on your profile picture in the upper right corner and select "Settings".
- In the Settings menu, select "Privacy" and then click on "Manage contacts".
- In the Manage contacts window, click on the three dots (...) and select "Export contacts".
- Choose a location to save the file and click "Save".
Importing Teams chat contacts:
- Sign in to the Microsoft Teams desktop app.
- Click on your profile picture in the upper right corner and select "Settings".
- In the Settings menu, select "Privacy" and then click on "Manage contacts".
- In the Manage contacts window, click on the three dots (...) and select "Import contacts".
- Select the file that you exported previously and click "Open".
- Your contacts will now be imported into Teams.
This process will only sync the contacts within one Microsoft 365 account. If syncing the contacts across multiple accounts, you need to repeat this process for each account.
