Why may you want to unsync a contact from a Microsoft Teams work account?
While it may seem like you are actively removing a communication element from Microsoft Teams, there may be instances where you need to remove contacts from your list. One such reason is the contact no longer exists. The user who had that contact has now switched to a new number; therefore, the old contact is no longer available. There is no need to keep the contact automatically syncing with the program. You can then proceed to use the steps above, which will remove the contact and therefore reduce clutter.
Another reason you may want to remove the contact is that the user who has the contact is no longer part of your team. The user has migrated to another team within your network or external to your network; therefore, you no longer need their contact. You can use the process above to unsync the program’s contract.
