    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:

NewtronI totally agree with you, it's very important to MS revert this update a turn the Tab View exactly as before. The chat has become a problem after this update!

I agree 100%.  Besides the sheer efficiency issue, many of us need to do everything we can to avoid clicks. Carpal Tunnel/Tendinitis is a rampant ailment and I am one of those affected. Microsoft is one of the worst contributors, moving to more and more mouse clicks. I use keyboard shortcuts more than anyone I've ever met. Those are disappearing as well as browser/cloud based platform apps replace traditional programs. 

 

MS, Please restore the Option of changing back to Tabs (or something even better) for those who wish to. Twice as many clicks for a simple common function over the course of an 8+hr day really matters.

      Want to add my frustration to this as well in a newer post. My company just removed the old teams from our systems. Now I am forced to use new Teams. This is one of the reasons I hate Microsoft!

      johnmsch No.  I highly doubt Microsoft cares about anything the user community hates regarding changes they've made.  They create communities to make it look like they care and want feedback.
