Unable to tag distribution lists (DLs) in Viva engage posts
Dear All, It would be helpful to have a feature in Viva Engage posts that allows us to tag DLs when needed. While planning a post, I noticed that cross functional teams are not part of the community for specific reasons, which I understand. Instead of reposting in their community, it would be useful if we could tag DLs so the original message reaches everyone intended.
Issue with notifications in external network
I am having problems with seeing notifications from external network (Microsoft's network to be exact). I can see the notification count all right: However upon clicking the bell, I get this error 90% of the time: What is really weird, is that every now & then it works just fine - it might take 10 times trying the bell icon, or 50, but those notifications will at some point be shown to me all right. I seem to be in tiny minority of people having this issue. Does anyone have any guidance or troubleshooting approach? Is this a setting in my home tenant, or Microsoft tenant? Account permissions? Does a log or telemetry exist anywhere where I could start asking the right questions how to resolve this. If anyone has any insight, that would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Maciej
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?
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?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!Users in "view-only mode" get stuck in the Acceptable Use Policy
Background I work with a company that is using Viva Engage. In some of their Communities, they have set restrictions so that only those who are Community Admins are allowed to post posts. When a Community Admin create a post and attaches an Excel file to the post, the Excel file is editable by all members of the Community. (Actually, it would have been optimal if the setting that limits who can post posts had also limited the ability to edit attached files, but that is not the case.) The setting i have tested Therefore, i tested "Manage user privileges with view-only mode in Viva Engage". As a Viva Engage administrator, I opened the Viva Admin Center and opened the "Governance and Compliance" tab. Under this tab there is an option called "User Management" where you can "adjust user settings surrounding the creation and visibility of contents". This sounded good, so I added the users that I wanted to limit these possibilities for so that they would basically only have read-only access to the community. The problem that arises This is where the strange problem arises. When these users, who I added under "User Management" now enter a community, the window with "Acceptable Use Policy" appears and it is completely OK but after that there is no possibility to accept, close or exit this window. Is this a bug or is there any additional setting that I have to turn on for this to work as intended?
Avoid no-member user discussion partecipation in private community
Hi, I want to use Viva Engage but when I create a private community I noticed that in a discussion a member can mention or add a user who is not a member of the community! This non-member user gets an email with which he views the specific discussion and can participate by making a contribution. But what if I want to prevent non-member users from being added in discussions? Is there any way to disable this feature which moreover conflicts with the definition of a private community in Viva Engage where "only approved members can view and participate in the discussion"?
Hello, how could I obtain the access data in Viva Engage through the API？
The data I currently obtain through the API only include the number of likes, but not the number of visitors. What kind of request should be sent to obtain the number of visitors to each Question(data circled in red in image)？Viva Engage Storyline - Ability to use PDF carrousels like on LinkedIn
Hey folks, I hope you are doing well. It would be great to do like on LinkedIn and offer https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a764804.

I can help with the requirements. Have a great week 🙂 Dimitri
