This unified platform supports all the features that you may need, from instant chatting to file transfers and video hosting. Unfortunately, it is still plagued with some bugs and issues. For example, plenty of users have been complaining on the official forums that Microsoft Teams is incapable of syncing all of their contacts from other platforms, especially Outlook. This is a well-known issue that has been with Microsoft Teams for some time. Unfortunately, there is no direct solution to this problem. However, a workaround does exist, and while it may take a bit of extra time, it will save you a few headaches in the long run, especially if you own hundreds of contacts.
How can I find all of my contacts on Microsoft Teams?
1. Use a third-party service
There are several online services that offer the possibility of connecting collaboration tools between each other. Zapier is one such service that allows you to do this in a matter of minutes and without a single line of code, letting you connect Microsoft Outlook and Microsoft Teams, with as many as 20 possible integrations. Besides Outlook and Microsoft Teams, it is also one of the many ways you can also connect other services as well, such as:
Slack and Outlook Slack and Microsoft Teams Slack to Twitter and more
2. Import contacts to Skype for Business, then to Teams
It would seem that Microsoft Teams has an issue with importing contacts from Outlook. However, it doesn’t seem to have this issue with contacts from Skype for Business. Thus, one workaround solution would be to first import all of your contacts from Outlook to Skype and then import them from Skype to Microsoft Teams. Unfortunately, importing contacts to Skype from Outlook can be daunting, but at least it is possible, unlike directly importing from Outlook to Microsoft Teams. Closing thoughts The issue of importing contacts from other services to Microsoft Teams has been around for some time already. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn’t seem to be giving any signs that this issue will be fixed any time soon. Until then, your only choice is to either use third-party services to connect the two apps or import your contacts into services that are compatible with Teams first.
