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.

Distribution lists allow us to quickly contact all employees or certain groups/unit. I feel distribution lists are essential. It works in Skype should be in MS Teams too..

I totally take advantage of Distribution Lists in Skype. I totally agree that this feature needs to also be in MS Teams Chat.

Using existing distribution lists will cut down on the chaos of creating new groups. Groups that duplicate what we already use and manage through Exchange.

Kind of the biggest no brainer in the history of the civilized world, don't you think?

This is really used a lot in Payment centers and allows managers quick access to groups of people based on job title or the entire unit. The groups are maintained by the SYSCOs and managers and admin staff don't need to add and delete as people move around. As long as the SYSCO is putting them or taking them out as the move around the groups are best.

This is used in every FO i know to communicate with the members of units and production titles like Title II or Title XVI. Management also uses it to communicate with only management and the entire staff or whatever Dist List they have created for this and email. This is absolutely needed.

This feature missing is a big gap. We moved from jabber to teams and now its hard for me to find who is online from my large team. Is this being planned?

This feature is essential in that it supports speed, ease, efficiency and security.
Having each user to have to manually re-develop and maintain common distribution lists is an inefficient use of time and increases the risk of error in communications. The use of the Outlook-based distribution lists increase the capability to easily identify and find available members on a team and provides a means to accurately maintain that information. This avoids leaving someone out of a message, meeting or call, as well as ensuring those no longer on a team do not receive information that they should not have access to. -

This is a not a feature we wanted, this is a feature which is needed. Request a reply from Microsoft to acknowledge or a give a solution to this thread.

We need this feature as well. We are constantly adding/removing contractors from our teams, and we like that they show up/disappear in Skype after our HR makes changes to the Email Distribution lists for us. Were going to forget to include team members in chats without distribution list support.

It would be nice to be able to pull Email enabled distribution group into teams contacts to make it easier for healthcare distribution of meds
