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.

The suggestion to turn off new TEAMS is not an answer. When you do that and your company has made the choice to use new TEAMS you no longer see the activity dot next to colleagues in email because old TEAMS isn't recognized in Outlook. Once again MS solution is not a solution.
Even the response provided isn't accurate. The options shown are not available. There is no option for 'suggest a feature' just report a problem.
Cannot believe MS would remove that feature! It is clear that the group working on this update didn't use TEAM on a daily basis. This tool is a critical tool and now it is less user friendly. Nice job guys.
Why would you remove that feature?
I don't understand Microsoft...
