Modern Site Page People Web Part
I had planned to use the People web part (see attached) on the modern page to list a contact person. Then I discovered it only provides a name, title, and the circle (with initials or picture).
Are there plans to have it link to profiles so one can hover or click on the name to get more information, e.g. email, phone number?
CatherineB and JanetS,
The "live people card" behavior (where you can hover over an individual and see more information about them) isn't yet rolled out to the government cloud you are both a member of, which is why you don't see that behavior in the people web part. Once that underlying capability is rolled out, it will become available in SharePoint. The team handling that feature roll-out hasn't committed to a roll-out time frame yet. We'll let you know when we know a time frame for it. fyi Steve Zhang

I'm having an issue related to this - I have the people directory webpart on a page. The search works fine, however the listed profiles aren't clickable. Can anyone advise why this might be?
Thanks

Hover works for us with the People web part. But, the phone number is missing now. All we see is the email.
- Hi,
It’s not the People webpart I have an issue with, but the People Directory webpart which allows you to perform the search. The listings under that don’t link to profiles.

For First Release users, when you go to edit the People webpart, they added a new layout. The original People Webpart for the modern sites had a "Compact View". The new option I am seeing in first release today is called "Descriptive". The cards look bigger and you can add a description text field under your picture. It looks like they added a "Add a profile link" but it appears to be broken. Nothing happens when you click it.
- I can see the Descriptive View has now rolled out to my tenant. Useful enhancement. Thanks for highlighting this update.
Sweet! Is that "Add a profile link" broken for you as well? Doesnt appear to do anything.
Will be nice when ours works. Thanks for the update.
That's exciting! Eager to see that rolled out.
I just tried the People web part in my org, and when I hover on it, I get a large pop up with the information you're looking for.
Getting this to show up feels kinda awkward, there's a delay on the popup.
Is the People web part on Modern site page on a SharePoint site? I ask because a similar looking icon will link to or display profile information in other areas like search results and the People. It just does not work when I add a People web part to a site page.

Yep, I used it in a Modern site page.
