Hide a user from Microsoft Teams
It would be very beneficial to be able to hide a user from showing as a Microsoft Teams user. Right now it is super confusing for users when old staff members whose mailboxes are still being used show in Microsoft Teams. There is currently no option to hide these users from showing as contacts in chats.

Any movement with this? We are about to roll out Teams Voice and now more than ever need to be able to hide some accounts to help clean things up. I would not think this should to hard to do?

Want to be able to hold account used for system, shared mailboxes and testing. Need this ability like you can unlist a mailbox in Exchange.

This functionality is very much needed for businesses that share an Active Directory, but have separate O365 tenants.

Frustrated that this has not been implemented as standard.
Why would service accounts with no Teams licenses or email addresses need to appear in Teams?
Users can send emails to these accounts and don't even get a notification that there's nobody at the other end.

Users without Teams license (like shared mailboxes, service accounts, etc) should not show up at all. See also https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/38339974-block-sending-chat-messages-to-users-who-are-not-g

How is there no comment from MS on this? Why would users that don't have Teams licenses assigned, Service Accounts, and Admin Accounts EVER show up in Teams?!?!

Teams should use the GAL when searching for other users. We have excluded former employees and our admin accounts. They still show up in Teams! This is very bad!

Yes agree. We have users hidden from our Global Address List that are showing in teams. Very confusing to users.
