Share a contact in Teams Chats

Teams Chat supports the sharing of contact data until the end of March, similar to the option of sending a contact by email via Outlook.

In a Teams chat (1:1 chat and group chats) you start with an @mention. Teams for Windows and Teams for Mac include the new option to share a contact.

It must be an internal Entra ID account. External Entra ID accounts (guests) and personal contacts from Teams or Outlook address book are not supported.
