Teams Outlook contacts
ABaerst It was something that was mentioned in an "internal" discussion we had with the Teams folks at MS, it should be coming relatively soon. I haven't actually seen it in action yet, so I cannot comment how good of an improvement it will be.
VasilMichev - Ok, thanks. Then it may still be worth my writing up my thoughts since soon could mean tomorrow or never or somewhere in between.
I understand that Teams is Teams and Outlook is Outlook and that there is a whole camp that thinks that "never shall the two meet." I understand some of the dogma and practicality of that statement, but I also think that it's impossible to not acknowledge that there are a lot of users who have spent a lot of time (years) refining their Outlook contacts and, as of now, the integration is marginal at best with respects to presentation and functionality. It would be ok if the two product were really completely independent, but there are areas such as PSTN Audio Conferencing, where users who think that they aren't using Teams have no choice but to use it in some respects. It's a real deal ender when users can't locate meeting participants in Teams that they absolutely know that they have in Outlook.
Contacts in Teams has a juvenile feel to it right now. I'll lay out the details in another thread. Thanks again.
