MS Teams location setting is great! Is it possible to sort my contacts based on who is in the office (so I know who might go for coffee with me)?

Any sort or filter function that can help me to see at a glance who is on site at any given moment would be helpful.

Going for coffee, want to see who might be around?

Fire drill, want to know who might still be in the building?

Thank you!

    Hi Nicole,

    Thanks for contacting us,

    Unfortunately, there is no built-in feature in MS Teams that allows you to sort your contacts based on who is in the office. However, you can try these workaround:

    • You can create a custom group in your contacts list and add the people who usually work from the office to that group. Then, you can expand or collapse the group to see who is online and available for coffee. To create a custom group, right-click any contact and select Create a new group. To add contacts to a group, drag and drop them from one group to another.

    I hope this helps!

    Regards, Sola

    Thank you Sola,

    I see now that I can hover over each contact (within the contact group) and if they have marked themselves as remote/in the office, I can see that (the icon) with just a simple hover. The does help me a lot.

    Thank you again!

    Nicole
