Team address books (and company-wide address book)
The lifeblood of Microsoft teams is the people that that make up those teams and generate the content within teams. As of now, there is now basic way of listing who those people are within teams.
It would be really great if each team had it's own "people" tab where it would be an address book of all the people who make up that team. Without it, how does a general user even know with whom they are speaking?
Furthermore, it would be good to have the option for a company-wide "people" tab in the left menu, which would function as a general address book.
These features are out-of-the-box options for most other company communication systems and I don't understand why it's not really an option.

We have been trying out teams calling for a couple days now. Not having this basic feature means we might be going back to our previous call system.

This is a basic necessity and a much needed feature. Skype for Business had it, it just took seconds to add an entire team of people on Skype by adding the team alias and I could contact anyone in my team or any other team that I work with. I am now handicapped after migrating to Teams as I am forced to add every contact that I need to chat with. Please add support to include team aliases in MS Teams.

Would be helpful too if the online status of people listed in a department search were displayed without having to select an individual for chat.

This has been a head ache for my organization.
We meet with most of the same people but always have to hand type their Email addresses in for a team meeting. -

New users shouldn't have to create their own contact list. That implies they have to get to know their Team via some other method in order to start communicating within other team members. Teams should make it easy for them.
