    I began adding DL's as an effective way to communicate with different teams of employees WAY back with Lync. Those DL's transitioned to Skype just fine and my contact list of DL's has only grown. When working in a global organization - DL's in a messenging app are a useful way to quickly determine whose is available, regardless of timezones. I've heard from our internal IT teams that Microsoft plans to add this functionality to MS Teams. Is there a release schedule?

    We have 90 in our department that communicates various groups in house. Having these distribution groups is essential. Now moving to chat in TEAMS, we have to type each name and rename the group. So much work! I do love TEAMS but would love a distribution group.

    Please add the distribution lists to MS Teams! It will make it much easier when having to distribute to various users info and invites.

    Distribution list saves a lot of time when you have to send multiple invites to different people. Please add this to MS Teams.

    Please add this contact feature to MS Teams. It would make the transition and usability smoother.

    Adding a Distribution List to Teams Group makes communication easier and faster with each other, including employees and management. It allows members of management to easily share information and participate in discussions with employees and others. I truly believe it is efficient and necessary - especially during our Telework environment.

    Definitely loosing distro list is a huge downgrade from Skype across the board. Please keep this feature ON in Teams to allow smooth transition.

    This feature is an absolute need!
    I use to daily in Skype to alert management groups of issues, notify multiple users of tips and fixes.. the list goes on.

    adding support for on-prem DLs is key. having to convert all our on-prem DLs in our current exchange hybrid environment is a massive undertaking just to get this simple functionality when we have 1000s of them.
