The design decisions here seem to be taken from the perspective of a normal tech-focused user and not the majority of the new userbase - i.e. professional workers.
I took a survey at my firm to see what people's main complaints were - 90% said the speed dial functionality. Either add it to another tab or remove it entirely, because how it is now is basically pointless.
I am extremely confused as to why Speed Dial was included when you can't organise it in any way. The Speed Dial cards also take up a weird amount of space considering they give absolutely no useful information. (not even the users last name!)
One of the biggest benefits of Teams is seeing users status quickly. Often, you need to see a group of people and their status very quickly. This ability has basically been removed.
I understand the need to keep things standardised across platforms, but giving users _options_ is something I thought Teams was going towards with Windows notifications etc. There doesn't seem to be any options to customise this layout at all.
