SharePoint in Microsoft 365: Replacement for 'Contacts' widget
Hi - relative newbie here, but I this used to be easily achieved in the client version of SP - am I right in saying there is no replacement for the Contacts App in SharePoint for 365?
Many thanks folks

jacobite Yes correct. Unfortunately, using this web part you can only enlist the users from your tenant/domain.
If you want to show the list of users from another domain, you may need to use other web parts (like Text web part to add user name/email link, etc.) which might not have similar UI as of contacts app or people web part.
Or you can build a custom web part on your own using SharePoint Framework (SPFx). There are few web part samples available on GitHub repository which might help you to get started with.

jacobite Are you trying to show the user profiles on SharePoint page? something like:
If yes, you can use the People web part as suggested by Bharath Arja.
Here's Microsoft official documentation for people web part which will help you in detail: Show people profiles on your page with the People web part

Thanks All, but looks as though I can only reference people on local domain right? i.e. I can't list contacts for 'external' people (such as client names)
