Dashboard rather than Conversation as the home page of each Team
Rather than see a conversation as the starting point of each Team, I'd like to see a dashboard. That is, recent conversation activity, Assessments due, calendar events, recent files, homework reminders etc ...

I frequently observe people clicking on the team’s name expecting to see content, instead of it expanding/collapsing channels. I think people think of it like file explorer, where any folder you click has its own content, and if you want to expand/collapse you click the little icon.
So I’ve often thought that a dashboard of sorts would make much more sense. The most obvious way to do this, to me, would be to just show the home page of the underlying SharePoint site.
Obviously that page would need to be changed a bit. But it already needs some work anyway, since there isn’t an obvious way to get to the team if you somehow end up on the SharePoint site. The homepage needs a way to go directly to a certain channel in the team, for instance.

Or the PowerBI reports. General: Move new tabs to the starting point (drag and drop for re-arrange). That would be awesome. We miss this feature on our school. We have more than 140 separate teams running right now, so this customization would be great! When does the status 'under review' go in to the 'developement status'? ;-)

That would be absolute great. My solution for having info to my students is to mute all of them and using the conversation as an information page from me to them.

You could possibly integrate this into the Class Note book. I use this a dashboard of sorts with my students

It would be excellent; indeed, conversation is unattractive and not clean.

The dashboard should be customizable and attractive, like a web page. Each channel (i.e. topic) should have its own dashboard and assignments, instead of all of the assignments for the year being contained in one giant list. It would be great if the teacher can designate which channel the students will see first when they open Teams, so the teacher can change it as the class moves from topic to topic. This will combine the functionality of a class website and a method to distribute/grade assignments in one place. The "conversations" should be visually less important than the dashboard and assignments.
PLEASE DO THIS. Right now my students hate using Teams because it is unattractive and the first thing they see is something that is not important to them (conversations). So I distribute assignments using Google Classroom (which I don't like). -

There really needs to be a landing page for each Team which can be customised (preferably centrally) to suit, much like a SharePoint page.
This really would help people engage with Teams, at the moment people think Teams is just about chatting with each other. -

Dashboard is a better option than conversations. At least we are able to be in control with making announcements or sharing posts. It's more organised than the current conversations. Thank you for chasing up on this.

Dashboard is a must if Teams is to become THE hub.
