how do I see my Skype contacts on microsoft team

Dear Robert,

Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A forum support.

From your message, I understand that you’re trying to locate your Skype contacts on the Microsoft Teams website and would like guidance on how to access them.

To help clarify, could you confirm:

1. Are your Skype contacts linked to a personal Microsoft account or a work/school account?
2. Are you trying to access classic Skype or Skype for Business contacts?

Here’s how to access Skype contacts in Microsoft Teams (personal accounts):

1. Go to https://teams.live.com and sign in with your Skype Email and password
2. Click the Chat icon in the sidebar.
3. Use the search bar at the top to find Skype contacts by name or email.
4. If needed, click on “New chat”, and enter their Skype username or email to start a conversation.

For this to work, your contact must also be using Skype (not Skype for Business), and both accounts must be configured to allow communication with external users.

 
Let us know the results of the above steps and the additional details mentioned so we can better assist you.
Best regards,

WE understood that all our Skype contacts would AUTOMATICALLY transfer to Teams.
