Microsoft Viva Engage AMA
Event details
Hi team,
Here are some questions I've gathered from recent customer interactions that you may want to expand/clarify during the session or respond below pls...in no particular order;
1. Is there an additional charge for the list of new features in order to access such functionality as Leadership Corner and Answers features? - will these remain switched off/unavailable to all non premium Viva customers pls?
2. For all existing M365 license plan holders, will everything remain the same (e.g. Yammer as we know it today) and continue at the same pricing just under a new name, Viva Engage?
3. Still so much confusion between 'Stories' and 'storyline' - what to use when, why are both needed, can you switch on one and not an other?
4. Admin roles - Previously, as a network Verified admin, this particular customer assumed that they would have access to 'everything' - e.g. setting up the admin portal, accessing private communities, assigning new admins to existing communities etc but they have advised that this is not the case anymore - is there an up to date description of what each network role entails and which is the most suitable one to be assigned in order to carry out all internal network duties across the internal network pls?

1. Yes, these new features are only available to with Viva suite licenses. 2. Yes, M365 customers will continue have access to the existing Yammer value with no price increase or licensing increases. 3. Our positioning and thinking around "stories" is shifting. We'll be focusing on storyline with media posts being a natural part of those posts but more to share soon. Users should post to their storyline when they want to share their thoughts, express themselves, amplify their work, share in a way that doesn't quite belong in a community or email. Leaders should use storyline to broadly share with their own voice. Stories is still in preview and we will make changes before GA. Admins can turn off storyline. 4. Yes, you can find all of the guidance relating to the new admin roles here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/eac-key-admin-roles-permissions - Katie O'LearyFeb 15, 2023Iron ContributorGreat questions...
