How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Allow rearranging contacts and groups

The new contact list is now live but it's missing the ability to rearrange contacts and groups by drag and drop like you can now do with teams and recent conversations.

I have quite a few contacts and large groups so sorting them would be very useful.

    In general, I think the Teams UI stinks. I really do expect more from a company as resourced and experienced as Microsoft. Didn't they do any internal user testing? We can't be the only ones to think of these things.

    It's sad that a paid product lacks such simple UI features that any other free product has.

    To move a contact to another group, I have to remove it, find and add again, this is really frustrating.

    Our company just moved from Skype to Teams. I am not at all happy with the UI design for Chat. It is extremely irritating to use. Please consider the following suggestions.

    1. Allow me to arrange my chat groups in the order that works for me.
    2. Allow me to rename, move, or otherwise manage the Favorites group.
    3. Allow me to move contacts between groups without a manual process.
    4. When there is a New Chat alert, I have to dig to find it. Please surface new chats.
    5. PLEASE add a separate category and alert for meeting chats!!
    6. PLEASE add the ability to silence chats from meetings that I am invited to but not attending. It is extremely irritating to have continuous popups from one meeting when I am attending a different meeting.

    Thank you.

    Just put numbers in front of your groups' names. Sorting will be handled numerically instead of alpha order.

    1. Sales
    2. Account Management
    3. Consultants
    4. Bread & Butter

    Would make it MUCH more user friendly so I'm not having to scroll so much.

    I would love to know how to have Skype reset contacts so that you can get back to your real team workgroup. Is this possible?

  • john danilson commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    i am transitioning from Skype to teams. teams chat works fine except I want my important groups to be first and not arranged alphabetically. In other words I want the chat in teams to allow me to order the groups just like I do in Skype.

    Really helpful, Would also be wonderful to be able to create sub categories to further control the growing list of contacts.
