NEW Teams Version - Remember to bring back "Contacts" in Chat
OL_Peter_K You can view some of the progress made here Known issues in the new Microsoft Teams desktop client - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Learn.
I also brought this issue to the table at the product team as more clients face the same issue. And it is on the roadmap to be implemented.

or Paul_Keijzers September 2024 and still not implemented...
Can you give us an update?- Well I think they are in a total new way implemented.
Paul_Keijzers This poor implementation. They can move the contacts to the left-hand bar.,
This implementation has been so disruptive.
Dec 2023 and the New Teams still doesn't have this. There's the People App (which takes much more screen space per person, no good for large lists, and doesn't show presence status) and there's the option of pinning chats (pinning is slow, and doesn't alphabetise the contacts).
Contacts was the easiest way to quickly recommence a chat with a specific individual. The Chats section gets choked up by meeting-related chat rooms.- Agreed I just started using the new version of Teams today - I actively toggled between my fav contacts and the chat (as you noted it gets clogged up) - driving me crazy that my fav feature is missing.
Same here. Got the "new" Teams today.
I wonder how they came up with the idea of removing such an essential feature in a collaboration app?
It would be like not being able to create folders or rules in Outlook.
Do we have any update on this feature being brought back?
I use the "Contacts" regularly to group people I have worked with from different teams together so that I can easily find them if I don't remmber their name. It is much quicker than trying to search the directory. Not having this feature is majorly crippling.
I ask, like others, do we know when this feature will be back?
