- We've noticed that the VIVA Learning search will find x files and SharePoint search using the same search term on the same folder will return more files (x+#) - are there recommendations for tagging, metadata, naming etc to ensure consistent results between both search methods?
- So who is hiring KMers for Viva Topics? Viva is the knowledge ecosystem that can finally deliver on value (applied knowledge). Thanks
- Three FYI links for Viva overview: Microsoft Viva - main website: https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-viva "Microsoft Viva is now generally available to help transform your hybrid work experience" (GA blog post) by Seth Patton, GM - Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/blog/2021/11/02/microsoft-viva-is-now-generally-available-to-help-transform-your-hybrid-work-experience/ "Microsoft Viva: Latest innovation and roadmap for the new digital employee experience" (#MSIgnite BRK204): https://myignite.microsoft.com/sessions/916e9084-5eb7-4be2-afea-35aa56863ebe
- About Viva Connections: As an organisation that has not (yet) started using Yammer, what would the experience be for those organisations if they were to start using Connections without Yammer?
- MichaelHolste
Microsoft
Hey Ciara, If you do not have Yammer deployed you can still use Viva Connections, you just won't see Yammer conversations or announcements show up in the Feed. Meaning, that the feed will be comprised of only SharePoint news content and Stream videos.
- About Viva Insights: will users of M365 Usage Analytics dashboards (a dashboard we love!) be seeing any signals that indicate how much adoption we have of various Insights functions? (e.g. how many people are taking the virtual commute home? etc)
wendy_guoHi Ashley, our first dashboard for Viva Insights will be available early CY 2022 for overall Insights usage.
- Are there additional licensing considerations around incorporating Headspace into Insights? Thanks!
- Thanks for the great "insights" on the availability of Headspace 😎 to all users without additional licensing and also for the details around the great new FOCUS TIME feature! 🕑
- Question: I became aware of Viva during the Microsoft Ignite Summit in early November 2021, and the main question I have is: What is the difference between MS Teams and Viva? Is Viva the new version or MS Teams is one component? I would like to understand the difference. Thanks PS: I am watching the video within the link provided for registration but cannot find a way to ask questions within the session itself.
- Will you be discussing scenarios/use cases?
- cjtanFor Topics, Naomi Moneypenny gives a great overview of use cases and scenarios that we've seen from customers in our video called Microsoft Viva Topics: What's New and Next, minute 5:05: https://youtu.be/Utt0xQSZ-Ro?t=305.
- Regarding Stream integration into Viva Connections: What videos will be shown to the average user? Is there some sort of recommendation algorithm, videos from sites you follow or any other ways of getting certain videos onto the end user's Teams client?
- MichaelHolste
From Stream you'll see video news links on org news sites and videos embedded in news posts. You could also build a dashboard card for a specific video and position where you see fit in the dashboard. Here's how the feed ranking works today:
- Thanks Michael, this is a great resource, no matter how ever-changing it is.
- There seem to be "mobile Experience" for Viva Connections GA right now. But there seems not to be an App for IOS somewhere in the App Store. When will that be available?
- MichaelHolsteThe Viva Connections app creates a custom app in Microsoft Teams that fits the needs of your organization -- meaning that it's actually part of the Teams mobile app. It appears as a customizable app in the Microsoft Teams app center. Once, enabled and the app is added, your organization’s icon will appear in the Teams app bar in the desktop and mobile Microsoft Teams experience. Users won’t see the app by default if you don’t pre-install and pre-pin. Here is some guidance on setting this up: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/choose-settings-for-the-viva-connections-mobile-app-61bc93fe-5d58-4b4c-a0b1-abdd484ccf46
- Thank you very much Michael!
