Groups Contact list

The ability to add AAD or AD synced Mail Enabled Security groups or Office 365 Groups in contacts. This functionality is available in S4B. It needs to be added to Teams so contacts are dynamically added in Teams contacts list under groups like departments.

    Or a feature with a dynamic contact group named "Manager, Peers and Reporting to Me" which would provide a nice overview of the Presence-information a user is likely to be interested in.

    Yeah, the ability to add groups that dynamically update in skype for business NEEDS to exist in Teams. No one wants to add users one by one. This is a deal breaker to get users off of S4B.

    I use this ability heavily, please continue it through teams so i can manage groups in ad.

    Agreed! We have many users in our organization who use that feature in S4B and are going to be reluctant to move over until it's available.

  • Jeff Boswell commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Agreed.

    If you are forcing a move to Teams from Skype, you should add the same functionality. The ability to add groups as contacts has been around since OCS or prior. How is this not a feature?

    Is it feasible to add every single employee in your organization individually, of course not...

    I second this, I loved the ability to add distribution groups as a contact in Skype For Business/Lync and allow them to Dynamically update.

    Maybe they could extend this feature that automatically updates contact groups based off Distribution Lists/Security Groups/Office 365 Groups?
