- An intuitive contact list panel with presence indicators for all colleagues, not just recent contacts or those in specific teams.
App Concept
TeamBuddy Contact Panel
A lightweight overlay that adds a persistent, searchable contact list with rich presence and activity status to Microsoft Teams. It simplifies navigation by providing one-click access to any contact, regardless of whether they are in a chat, channel, or neither.
Key Features
- Unified contact list showing all colleagues regardless of team/channel membership
- Real-time presence status (available, busy, away, offline) with customizable alerts
- Quick actions to start a chat, call, or schedule a meeting directly from the contact entry
- Integration with Teams' existing directory and calendar to show in-a-meeting status
Target Users: Microsoft Teams users, especially those in medium to large organizations who find the existing interface overwhelming.
Revenue Model: $3/mo per user SaaS subscription, with a freemium tier for basic contact list features.
