Remember expand/collapse contact groups
The new contact list is now live and it has the option to expand and collapse contact groups. However when I restart teams the are all expanded again.
It would be better if Teams remembered when I collapse a group. then I can for example hide groups of contacts I don't use as often.

I totally agree. Right now it won't even remember which groups are expanded/collapsed after switching to Teams and then back to Chat. That's kind of ridiculous.

Remembering the status of collapsed / expanded groups is really much needed! @Microsoft get this looked at. Surely it is just a quick script within the application / registry that is needed.

Some days I'm interested in one group, some days another. It would be really good if i could expand the group I'm interested in and it stayed that way regardless of what else I do in Teams, until i choose to collapse it and expand another.

I am a very organized type A individual and not having a feature to keep chat view screen in the collapsed mode is very inefficient. I start my day out by collapsing all 44 of my personal groups. I try and remember to stay on contacts or else they all expand again. This feature needs to be fixed immediately. There needs to be a setting where Teams opens with last used view, expand all feature, collapse all feature. Please expedite fixing this issue.

I have to say it: Skype was better in this sense!
My vote goes to "Last view memory" !!

Please fix this MS.
If Teams is to be the go-to office communication hub, users surely don't want all the department groups and respective users expanded every time!The current experience feels broken.
How is persistent collapse/expand not implemented as standard or via a user option setting (not that anyone would have it set to off)

We are in the process of moving from Skype to Teams. This is a large pain for the users to be able to manage chat sessions efficiently. We all deal with a large number of people and would prefer to use team for communication. especially with the large number of remote workers now an days (pandemic). I foresee this as a significant complaint with users as we push to go Teams company wide. A solution soon than better would be greatly appreciated.

1) need to be able to bring in distribution lists from outlook/activ directory in order for users to add departmental groups all at once, with the ability to expand the list of users, and be able to right click on one individual to start a chat or call with - like skype for business! 2) also like skype 4 biz, when you rt clk an person's entry, there should be a contact info page to display that user's name/desk phone/cell phone, complete address, & email address. 2) there needs to be an option in the settings to turn of auto expanding all contact groups at startup. 4) other than the rt clk option to hide a msg from the main view, we need an option to unhide or see all hidden msg, plus the abililty to either delete them altogether to save them to outlook (like skype 4 biz).

Agreed! Needs to stay collapsed.

Agree with everyone on here. The calls tab is pretty much useless without being able to control the expansion. Also add a button for "Group Call" as well
