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.

This is definitely needed for Call Queues and Auto Attendants at minimum!

This would be helpful, just implemented Teams and I can see my entire directory including local admins and the Azure AD Sync user.....
I also have approx 120 users that won't use Teams so I would hide these users as well....
There just needs to be an option available to hide users.... blocked users don't appear on the list so we know you can stop users from showing in the directory.

This would also be helpful because Teams likes to show shared mailboxes that aren't actual users.

Disabled accounts with no licenses should not display in Teams.

Please add this feature. If you hide the address in Exchange, Teams should pull that config for itself as well. Thank you.

I'm also struggling with this, we have some users with multiple accounts due to different geographical locations where aliases to their mailbox is not feasible due to the way the data/email are structured and we end up with several results for the same person on teams. We have to write the different email addresses on the display name to make easier to identify, but that is an ugly work around. Please add an option to hide.

We do not license all users for Teams. It would be good to limit messaging to licensed users.

I found not giving admin users a license is the first step
The second is following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-scoped-directory-search
