Microsoft Teams My Hub! (An Idea) - Will this be the next thing for Microsoft Teams?

I spend my whole day in Microsoft Teams, whether that is attending meetings, accessing documents, demonstrating Teams to customers or working on documents with colleagues or customers and this got me thinking is there a gap within Teams around personal productivity?

One area that I believe is missing is a single area for users to come within Teams to see everything that is important to them, maybe this is an expansion to the notification area or a completely new type of team.

I have been playing around with this idea myself and have found that a Team that I call “My Hub” has become one of my most important goto Teams that I use on a regular basis.

Certificate Authentication for Horizon View Access with UAG

Certificate Authentication for Horizon View Access with UAG

Unified Access Gateway (formally Access Point) is used to secure external access for a Horizon View.  There are numerous advantages over using Security Servers, which are still supported, noticeably the lower resources required to run and the removal of the necessity to pair with a dedicated security server.  Not to mention the lack of Windows!  In a multi-site environment with redundancy that is a significant reduction in deployed resource.
