Since the transition at the end of June 2017, my previously displayed chat contacts in the desktop Gmail interface have not appeared. Now, I am presented with a large empty space that the contacts list used to occupy that invites me to make a call:
I can utilize https://hangouts.google.com/ and Hangouts on my mobile device works as expected. However, I utilize the desktop client for a majority of the day.
Is there a way I can restore my chat contacts to this side bar in Gmail on my desktop?

Andy, At the bottom of the Gmail window you have icons that toggle the Hangout on of off...
Click on the hangouts to turn back on...
