There used to be a toggle to switch off the new Teams so that the Contacts tab showed. With today's rollout it seems to be gone.
Additional chat-related features and issues within Microsoft Teams for business
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I was bothered by this too and then I discovered Speed Dial. Click on "Calls" and on the right there is a Speed Dial pane that shows presence and if you hover over the person it brings up a menu that allows you to initiate a chat or call. It would have been really nice of Microsoft to sync Contacts with Speed Dial.
Dear GLV,
Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community
Based on your post, I checked alongside us and found the same result as yours. Even checked with multiple test tenants and found the same result. It seems that, at this moment, Contact list feature isn't available in New Teams.
New Teams is still under development and it is suggest sending this feature to the Teams development team by go to Help > Suggest a feature. Feedback submitted in this way reaches the product team directly, and they can add future updates. On this point, cooperation and understanding will be greatly appreciated.
Further move back to classic Teams, please go to More Option (...) > Turn off New Teams.

Thank you for your previous time. Stay safe and healthy.

My company is starting to push us to the new TEAMs but I just discovered it does not have the "contact" list option any longer and this is the #1 thing I use to be able to quickly go do someone or see if they are online (of folks I work with the most regularly).
Has there been any update/movement on this being added back in?
I have reverted to the old teams for now because this being missing.......
I really hope someone from Microsoft is having a look at this community board and taking note, and hopefully some action...or is this only a kind of glorified electronic venting board....?
I don't understand how could an old feature be removed? Why should we suggest a feature? The function was already there and now it's been removed, so it's not like everyone wants a new feature, but we just want the old feature back. It is a standard practice to create contact list.
