Chat / Contacts Tab View
Newtron I also struggled with this, but found what I consider to be a pretty good solution. You can "pin" contacts by clicking the 3 dots next to a contact on the "recent" list, and you can sort the pinned contacts, which pretty much gives me what I need. See the sample below:
jlibow thanks. That's a great idea.
seeing your contacts and recent chats on the same page. makes for an even faster experience.
Shame MS couldn't have thought of this themselves.
jlibow note that you can only pin 15 conversations in the Chat feature. So if you have group or meeting chats that you want to find quickly + contacts, you run out of pinned space quite fast.
AndreaWestbrook I would like to pin my team, but I have more than 15 people that report up to me. This ties back to my last comment.
I received a message that this post has be marked as answered. I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't consider that to be true. Maybe a 'slight' workaround at best with limitations was presented, but far from a total solution. Microsoft should simply revert back to the way it was originally designed.
jlibow Thanks for the idea. It's definitely better than nothing. My struggle is going to be that I have a quite a few contacts that I would need to pin which would prevent me easily viewing my other chats. Microsoft just needs to revert back the way it was.
Thanks again!
- Not a good answer. Crummy. Barely tolerable. C'mon Microsoft help us out here. Add it back in. How hard can that be?
