Is it bad to add groups with lots of contacts to Skype?
- Out of the box the contact list is limited to 250 users but can be expanded up to 1,000.
It's more so a recommendation that you'd add everyone in your company to the contact list as they can be easily found by typing in their name, however it's quite common that people do add their colleagues to the contact list for ease of access later.
Having 200+ people on your contact list won't impact anything - that's what I've had for years with no issue.
If you check the documentation for New-CSClientPolicy, you can see that the limit can be set to 1000 contacts:
Indicates the maximum number of contacts a user is allowed to have. The maximum contacts can be set to any integer value between 0 and 1000, inclusive. When set to 0, that prevents the user from having any contacts.
It is not possible to run the command "New-CsClientPolicy" with the switch -MaximumNumberOfContacts for Skype for Business Online.
There is no official documentation as well which mentions the contact limit for Skype for Business Online.
If there is one, please let us know :-)
Hi,

This one should apply to SfB Online as well.
In the article it mentions that it is applicable for SFB Online but as a matter of fact it doesn't. There might be some switches in the below article which works for SFB online but "-MaximumNumberOfContacts" ain't the one.
