Speed dial in Teams

One of the advantages of having speed-dials set is that, assuming you are calling internally, you can immediately see the presence status of your contacts so you will know if they are available to take your call.

Your speed dial contacts appear to the right in the main Teams window, along with any contact and call groups you manage (the exact layout changes depending on the with of the Teams app window).
