News web part and Teams notifications
I would like to add a News web part to main page of our portal and I would like for everybody who has access to the portal to recieve notification about the newly added news to that web part to receive notification on Teams. How can I do that? I don't see any settings anywhere about Teams channel.
I tried to add (on a production) a News web part to the portal main page and add one item in the web part. Only couple of people got the message on their mobile Teams, not Desktop.
Then I created new site (on test environment) and created News web part and after adding new item, everybody got the message in Teams.
Can somebody explain how News web part sends notifications?

Hello,
To enable default notifications for all users within your organization, please activate "Viva Connections" for your tenant.

I have taken a community blog for more information:
Getting Started with Home Site in SharePoint Online - SharePoint DiaryWhen both tasks are completed. Whenever a news article is published, your employees that have access to the site will be getting a notification in Microsoft Teams. 🙂
To adjust the notifications to certain users, you will have to use audience targeting on the news article.
I hope this is what you were looking for.

Thanks Aref for your reply.
We have all those settings already set, but what is the reason for this: "People got the message on their mobile Teams, not Desktop" ??
