One of our users contact card in Teams isn't updating to her new name. In Azure, the "IM Address" property shows her SIP address just fine, but when I go to Teams admin center, her contact card isn't showing that same SIP address from Azure.

I've tried desyncing her from AD Connect and editing properties in Azure, but nothing seems to change what shows up in that contact card that everyone sees in Teams? Any help would be appreciated with this!

    Hi @Kris Masoner

    To change what's shown on the contact card in Microsoft Teams, you need to make some settings in the Microsoft 365 admin center. Here are the steps:

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center: Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center with an administrator account.
    2. Navigate to user management: In the left navigation bar, select Users > Active users.
    3. Select a user: Find and select the user whose information you want to change.
    4. Edit user information: On the user's details page, select Manage contact information. You can edit the user's name, title, department, phone number, and more.
    5. Save changes: When you're done editing, click Save to apply the changes.

    After the changes are made, sign out of Teams and sign back in. Please note that it may take some time for the changes to take effect in all users' Teams clients.

    If you don't see the option to change your personal information in the Teams admin center, sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center and follow the steps below to modify your information.

    1. Sign in to the Microsoft Entra admin center as at least a User Administrator.
    2. Browse to Identity > Users > All users. Screenshot of the All users page in Microsoft Entra ID.
    3. Select a user.
    4. There are two ways to edit user profile details. Either select Edit properties from the top of the page or select Properties. Screenshot of the overview page for a selected user, with the edit options highlighted.
    5. After making any changes, select the Save button. If you selected the Edit properties option:
      • The full list of properties appears in edit mode on the All category.
      • To edit properties based on the category, select a category from the top of the page.
      • Select the Save button at the bottom of the page to save any changes.
      Screenshot a selected user's details, with the detail categories and save button highlighted. If you selected the Properties tab option:
      • The full list of properties appears for you to review.
      • To edit a property, select the pencil icon next to the category heading.
      • Select the Save button at the bottom of the page to save any changes.
      Screenshot the Properties tab, with the edit options highlighted.

    If you encounter problems or have other questions, feel free to let me know. Thanks for your understanding and support.
