Few Doubts - Viva Engage

Hello everyone! I have some questions about viva engage, I hope someone can help me. Is it possible to hide the "create a community" option, so that only a few users that I select can see it? How...

Hi! 🙂 

I'll see if I can answer most of your questions

 

1. You can't really limit it without limiting users from create SharePoint and Teams sites unfortunately.  Better to work and teach the user  together with having a lifecycle management and governance process.

2. Schedule posts is still in development: https://www.microsoft.com/en-ww/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=155843

3. If I remember correctly, an User doesn't get notification that they have been removed. Else you can teach the user to disable it themself (I recommend this)

4. No, this isn't possible right now but a workaround is to block the email adress for all users. Or teach them how to disable the notification they don't want 🙂 

5. Yes, but you will change for your whole Office profile. as Viva engage makes use of the office profile. Cover photo isn't supported right now

    No worries, if you have any additonal questions just ping or tag me here 🙂 Viva Engage is among the best tools an organisation has for building culture and communities


    As for Premium license, it's the Microsoft Viva Employee Communications and Communities or Viva Suite license 🙂

      Hi! NicolasKheirallah

       

      First of all, Happy New Year!

      May this year be filled of prosperity and good health for you!

       

      Well, I'm writing to you again because I don't see the options in Viva Engage to schedule posts.

      Let me explain you:

      • I have a user "A" who delegated user "B" to post on his behalf.
      • When user "B" wants to post to a community on behalf of user "A", user "B" can't see the Scheduled and Draft options.

      So my question is, Do we have to configure or activate something in Viva Engage? Because, we don't have these options enabled.

       

      I'll appreciate your response as soon as possible.

       

      Regards!

        HI!
        Wish you the same! 🙂
        Did you assign both users the viva suite or Communications and Communities license?

        Also check that your Viva Engage is in Native mode!
