Can I enable Viva Connection Notifications on Teams Dekstop as well?

I am currently building a SPO Intranet which I connected Viva Connections with.
So whenever I create a News Site, I receive a Push Notification on Teams Mobile. This looks as follows:

 

So far so good.

So my question is, if I can enable those Notifications on Teams Desktop as well or is this currently exclusive to Teams Mobile? So far I couldn't find an option to solve my question.

    Yeah sorry I was wrong, I got it mixing up with Viva Engage Announcement notification...:facepalm:

     

    Yeah desktop doesn't have any kind of notification for SharePoint news post,  but you can see your unread ones in the feed and latest one should be on left

    Hi, I have another question regarding the push notifications.
    We have a multilingual SPO site (Dutch and English) and via Viva Connections, users get 2 push notifications when a news item is published, 1 for Dutch and 1 for English. How can we change this that only 1 language is being pushed, following the Teams app language setup? TutuNg

      alexanderbackx, same odd behavior experienced here today. Did you found a solution for this issue or raised a support ticket?

      Thanks,

        Hi André, thank you for replying my comment.
        No, haven't found any solution but I need to re-test this to make sure this is still a problem.
        Have you recently experienced the same issue or is it resolved?
        Regards,
        Alexander
  • Yeah That's built-in into the Viva Connections/Viva Home and should be working out of the box on desktop too 🙂

      I wish it would work but on my Feed in Teams Desktop App the News Notification doesn't appear.
      And I don't where to change that - if there's way to do so.
