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.

How can they remove a feature so useful without any analysis of user experience of the software. If I want to send a message to a contact outside of a scheduled meeting I just go to Contacts in Teams classic and message them. I can't do that in the 'new improved' teams because they have removed the Contacts list!
This is just a different way of opening the People app. Which will show contacts but not their chats.
The part that is missing here is sorting the Chat window by your contacts rather than by most recent chat/pinned users.
fix it please the NEW Teams is lacking if it doesn't have this option for my Contacts instead of Chat only.
Will not be moving over until you have that option in place.
