Feature Suggestion: hover over description for teams within MS Teams

My organization has been using teams for about six years now. Slowly, my left column in teams has filled up with many teams. Sometimes I'm added to a team and I don't even know what it is! Sometimes I joined the team three years ago and forget what they do. The name of the team may not be very descriptive, or is an acronym I've forgotten / never learned, and this leads me to browsing posts to get an idea of the main function of the team. I predict that this issue will only grow as time goes on. In the early days of teams, this was not as much of an issue. I'm suggesting a feature with this intent: allow users either with a mouseover on the team name, or with clicking on the three dots next to a team name (ideally both), to see a brief 200 character or less synopsis / description of the team. In this way, we'll quickly relay the intent of the team to any / all users. Currently, hovering your mouse over the team name produces the team name again and "Public" or "Private" as far as I can tell. Currently it is clean and light, but I propose adding an optional description below the "Public" / "Private" part. Thoughts? 

NOTE: I would have submitted this in other more appropriate forums like feedbackportal.microsoft.com but i don't have access.
