How do I get my contacts list back in the new teams? There used to be a toggle but this is gone now. This may be my 2nd most used feature in teams.

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.

Best regards

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.
