Viva Engage connection with MFA
I'm not able to connect to https://engage.cloud.microsoft/main/org/microsoft.com, where I'm was added as member of several communities (I received notifications with "You have been added on..."). I'm requested to log on using my work account. All options fail: Using passkey: "Something went wrong" Using Authenticator app: "Request wasn't sent" (I approved the request.) Using password: "Your account or password is incorrect." (I entered the correct password.) It could be something with connection between my company and Microsoft. My organization has passwordless logon. Is this something that Microsoft or my organization has to fix?
Enhancements wanted for Viva Engage Event Experience
In the Event tab within Viva Engage Communities it would be great with some improvements to enhance the usage and customization of Events. Similar to Facebook and Workplace events where participants had the possibility to select "Attending" and "Not attending". We have cases where we plan in person events where it would be really helpful to get an overview of participants that are attending. Similar to Facebook and Workplace events where participants had the possibility to select "Attending" and "Not attending". Additionally, giving users the ability to add events directly to their calendars would help them stay organized and maintain a better overview of company activities. To summarize very wanted features are: The options for participants to click Attending/Not attending. Option to "Add to Calendar" directly from the event page The ability to mark the event as In Person Is this on Microsoft's Roadmap for enhancements, or could it be considered for future updates?
Security Settings not available
I am following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/manage-engage-licenses-microsoft-365 to remove users from the access to VE by removing Microsoft licenses and changing a setting in VE to block users without the Viva Engage Core license. I am a global M365 admin. In the article the VE Network Admin Center is the one I've seen and used before (I assume from the old Yammer Network). However, when I try to access the admin center I get a view (like the picture below) that does not include a Security Settings Page, which based on the article is where I need to turn on the setting in VE to block users without the license. How do I get back to the old VE admin page or get to a place where I can access the security settings for my VE Environment?
Adding external guest users
Hi, New to Viva and have a question about external/guest users. We are trying to add external users from multiple companies into select communities. A test external user has been created and accepted a B2B invitation, but there is no option to add the user into any communities by the community admin. What is the correct way to go about adding external users in Native mode?Fewer users in "Users" table than in "Messages" — how to ensure full user data?
Hi, I'm analyzing Viva Engage exported data and noticed that the Users table contains fewer users than the number of unique user IDs appearing in the Messages table. Some user IDs in the Messages table (as message authors) do not have corresponding entries in the Users table. Is there a known reason why some users might be excluded from the Users export? Is there a way to ensure all users who post or interact are included in the Users table? Any insight into how to resolve or explain this discrepancy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!How to identify if a message is a repost in Viva Engage reports?
Hello, I’m working with the exported reports from Viva Engage, and I’d like to know if there is any way — based on the messages data in the documentation or export — to determine whether a specific post is a repost of another one. I have reviewed the schema documentation for messages, but I couldn’t find an obvious field that indicates if a message is a repost or links back to the original post. Is there a recommended field or approach to identify reposts programmatically from the exported data? Any guidance or examples would be appreciated. Thank you!
Inline images still not available for Discussions and Questions
I understand that "Articles" is a new premium feature for Viva Engage that allows inline images when creating an article. However, does anyone know why inline images are still not available in "Discussions" and "Questions" post options? This feature has been missing since day one for those post types. Although it became available last year with "Articles," it has yet to be integrated into the most frequently used post types in Engage, where it is desperately needed. What is the reasoning behind this?
Private Communities: Enable "Unlisted" Status and Hide Membership on Storylines
When using private communities in Viva Engage, it's not always desirable for these communities to be discoverable. A welcome addition would be the ability to set an Engage community as both private and unlisted, thereby removing the option for users to apply for membership. Currently, if a user is a member of a private community, this membership is visible to others on that user's storyline. This means it's possible to piece together the membership of private communities by viewing individual users' storylines.
