Modern Site Page People Web Part
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
A weekly digest of Office 365 changes is sent to our SharePoint administrator, but a timeline for this subject was not covered. I posted in the community when others were reporting People features we did not have. A MS employee investigated and provided me with the update.
Hopefully we will see the features soon.

Can someone clarify where the People data is being pulled from?
I have uploaded user's profile pictures and phone numbers with PowerShell (Set-MSOLUser, Set-AzureADUserThumbnailPhoto and Set-UserPhoto) and I see them in Delve and Outlook, but they aren't showing up on the People web part.
Not sure where else I can dump the info.
Thanks!
- Yes, I see it now. Thanks.
Thank you! Yes I see the hover card.
Steve ZhangJanetS and CatherineB, please check if you can see it now?
Hi Catherine, I checked today as well and I do not have it either.
- Steve Zhang - Hi - What did you find? We still do not have it.
- Steve Zhang
Let me check. It takes time to roll out to all as we defined different phases and in each phase we need to test to ensure it's in good quality.
Steve Zhang - Greetings - We're still not seeing the feature and were wondering when the roll out will be complete.
CatherineB no as of this morning, I am not seeing it either.
JanetS - Is it working for you? We're not seeing it yet. TGIF!
- Steve Zhang
Christopher Moore, thanks for reporting this. We already had this bug in the backlog.
One of our users noticed a funky behavior with the people part. One the initials for the icon are last name, middle name (so for John L Smith it would be SL) but when you hover over it, the initials go to first name, last name (so JS for John L Smith). It seems weird this is inconsistent between the two. Is it possible to control/edit this behavior?)
- Steve Zhangwe had a fix. And we are carefully rolling it out now. It takes time to go through whole process
Any update on this?
- Steve Zhang
Sorry guys, we are actively looking at this. Will update you back.
Steve Zhang - I am told rDirectory or AD. For my test I entered the mobile information into rDirectory.
Steve Zhang Where is the data coming from on the card? Skype, Delve, Azure ad...??
CatherineB Thanks Catherine for the FYI.
Steve Zhang - FYI - Only an email would display on hover for me. A number displayed when I added one to Mobile.
JanetS - FYI
Thanks for the speedy response Steve Zhang.
Good news, hover over the avatar works today. Like JanetS, I only see the email address for most of our employees. But, I noticed one employee listed a phone number and an email address. The number was not listed in his Delve profile, but I found it under Skype and Outlook as the Mobile number. Most employees only have Business numbers.
The size of the image was just a guess because I notice it is much smaller in the compact view.

Hi Catherine,
You need to hover the avatar to get the email, organization, phone and etc. I hope it rolled out to your tenant now.
For the size of image, I think you mean the size of the card is too big also, right? We will see how to provide a better looking card but still keep the alignment with the other cards as I mentioned in the last post.
As of today I do get a card with only the Email address.

Hi Catherine,
Thanks for providing feedback to us. This descriptive card size is designed to align with other card width such as doc card when they are put together in the page so that author don't need to worry about the weird alignment problem on the page.

For the tenant which currently can't have hover live people card, we are rolling out a temp solution to provide a hover contact card instead and you will get it soon. It contains the people's org name, phone, email and skype information with simple UI. It's a temp solution and better than nothing.
And it will be replaced by Live People Card finally.
Steve Zhang - Our temp solution does not include the phone, email, or Skype information. It has person's org name, a link and a description field. We are using the link field to point to a person's Delve profile for select people because there is not time to do a manual update for everyone. We have received complaints on how the layout overshadows information on the page. I have attached an example. Perhaps the image could be smaller. Thanks.
JanetS - FYI
Perhaps.
I just checked my page where I have the descriptive layout. I am not getting anything different. Maybe it has not been pushed out to our tenant yet?
