In the Microsoft Team GUI the favorite team names show up on the panel on the left. The name of the teams here are same as the team name you create. But there are situations where you want a standardized team name across the company or organization. While you want a more descriptive and adhoc name show up in the favorites panel. For eaxmple, team name need to be a standard 5 digit number say 10200. This team may be doing "Product A development". So when you see the team on the favorite panel we would like to see "Product A Development" rather tan 10200. Couple of ways this can be achieved:
1) You have an alias for the team. This alias is what shows up on the Favorite panel. Alias can be customized for each individual members the way they want it to read. "Rename" the team name just in the Favorite panel view.
2) As we hover over the team name "10200" it shows a tool tip pop up "Product A development". Or the description of that team shows up in the pop up.

Thanks
