Microsoft Teams Phones: Remotely manage contacts in Teams admin center

Attention Microsoft Teams admins! A new feature will soon be available in the Teams admin center that allows remote management of contacts for common area phones. This ensures that important contacts are easily accessible for users on their Teams Phone devices. By selecting the Manage contacts feature within the Teams admin center, IT admins can search for and select contacts to add to applicable devices, with the ability to upload a CSV file for contacts not found through the search. The newly added contacts will then be synchronized to Calls and People apps within 24 hours, and can be reviewed, edited, or deleted as necessary. The rollout of this feature will begin in mid-January 2025 globally, with later rollout dates for GCC High and DoD. No action is required from admins before the rollout, and support will be available for any questions or concerns. Stay tuned for updated documentation before the rollout.
