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. ...

I agree with you, nothing is settled. The way the People app is configured doesn't give the same possibilities/flexibility as what in Contacts. For me, it's as if nothing had been done.
I will continue to use the old Team as long as possible...

The people app is still not a replacement for contacts. It still very much feels like an afterthought at best. As we use Teams as our phone system the receptionist was frustrated by the people app to the point she is one of many that have been rolled back to the classic version.
- hps_steveApr 22, 2024Brass ContributorThe people app may not be the same as the old contacts. Its at 2 extra clicks to get to the person and start the chat. May be somewhat less convenient but isn't a show-stopper. It is now in-line with other chat apps, both enterprise and consumer.
I think those that don't like the new People app as its not integrated into the main page, should make a new discussion thread.- markm66Apr 22, 2024Iron Contributor
hps_steveyour assuming all people use it for is chat. You may use it that way but don't assume that is the only way people use it because for us it isn't anything to do with chat.
- hps_steveApr 22, 2024Brass ContributorI think you're missing my point. Just replace "chat apps" with whatever you call it.
