Event details
Now that you understand what Microsoft Viva is, it’s time to ask your questions about what to expect as you prepare your environment to launch Viva – the user experience or the steps needed for IT admins to setup and implement each module. You might be surprised to learn you already have a lot in place; Viva extends existing technology across SharePoint, Teams, Yammer and Stream.

- CiaraCoulesCopper ContributorViva Connections: On mobile, what would the experience be in accessing SharePoint sites for iPads that don't have SharePoint installed? Would it be similar to the SharePoint app, open a browser within Teams mobile or redirect to the end user's preferred browser?
- CiaraCoulesCopper ContributorDoes this also apply with sites that are hubbed to the home site? Will their content be surfaced in the same way/at all?
- CiaraCoulesCopper ContributorAlso, if Viva Connections doesn't technically show the home site, what is the functionality for the Resources tab in Viva Connections mobile?
- Steve ChenFormer EmployeeWith Viva Topics, afaik there is a separate crawl started that indexes content to be surfaced as topics but this takes on initial enablement up to two weeks until content is aggregated for topics reviewers. Question is why cant we just leverage the existing index the SPO search has crawled already? Wouldn't that saving loads of time to make topics right showing results at first view?

- ShaunSchanBrass ContributorAs prep for deploying Viva Connections, hoping to build the required communications site with associated subsites while in development, then promote to root / home site when ready to go-live. Is this a feasible approach? Will all URLs for subsites, auto-update during the promote process? Example - will "tenant.sharepoint.com/viva-dev/HR" update to "tenant.sharepoint.com/HR" when promoted to root
- Slee6004Brass ContributorViva connections: our Intranet site use mega menu and links to other pages. When users click/open those links/pages will there be any impact to device performance?
- JorunAkerbergLMBrass ContributorViva Insights: Will it be possible to see Headspace sessions if you have Swedish (or any other language than English) as selected language in Teams desktop client?
- JorunAkerbergLMBrass ContributorViva Learning: Can we flush/get rid of our connection to our first selected SharePoint site: Learning Pathway for our internal list of content. We want to change to a separate SharePoint site for this purpose, but the change does not happen. Is this something we need help from Microsoft to change?

Jorun - I misunderstood your question in the AMA. I will need to take this question offline on whether you can "flush" ingested content from a SharePoint ingestion perspective. I'll check with the owning PM and get back.
- EBlackburn1000Brass ContributorIn the description for this you mention that Viva extends into Stream. Can you explain how Stream works with Viva Learning? I've been able to upload videos directly to my Sharepoint Document Library, however I haven't seen support documentation for directly integrating an organizations Stream content
- EBlackburn1000Brass ContributorAre there plans to improve the search function in Viva Learning? From testing, it seems that searches need to be exact. This is a barrier for staff accessing content. For example, if custom content has no meta tags/description, and staff don't search for the exact spelling/format in a title, content will not show. i.e. Power Point vs PowerPoint
- EBlackburn1000Brass ContributorWhile I appreciate the answer, I'm not sure that quite answered the question. Why is search SO specific with search terms?
- EBlackburn1000Brass Contributor1. Will we be able to map site pages to Viva Learning? 2. Does Viva Learning require premium accounts for all users to access the recommendations feature, or can an organization assign a handful of premium users to recommend material to staff? 3. When learning pathways is integrated, will any custom-created playlists be automatically added as well? 4. When can we assign thumbnails to custom content added to Learning? 5. Video content does not show under Browse Courses on the App main page. Is this intended, or a bug? 6. Is it possible to add a Description to content in Learning? Staff should be able to quickly see if a course meets their needs
