Microsoft Viva Engage AMA

This is a great question, Kevin. And thank you and others on this thread for your feedback regarding navigation for the Viva Engage app in Teams. TL:DR; here is - we are not making changes to the primary navigation (hence the functioning of the left navigation pane which lists your Communities) when Yammer web experience is rebranded to Viva Engage. You will still be able to use the navigation that you love and enjoy on Yammer web when it is rebranded to Viva Engage. Our philosophy for any navigational or layout changes for Viva Engage on web would be to make those changes only if they help reduce any friction in workflows and makes it easier for users to navigate the app and find what they are looking for with ease and efficiency. In the future, we will also make sure that any such changes would be experimented and if proven successful for our users, we'd provide enough heads-up to our customers to allow enough time to update any training documentation before we start to roll out those changes. Heard all your feedback loud and clear on the navigation in Viva Engage app in Teams, we will look to improve that in the coming quarters and make it more consistent and coherent. As we bring all our experiences under the Viva Engage brand, you can expect more consistency in terms of navigation, layout, look & feel, across the board. Re: URLs, Viva Engage on web would still use the same/similar url schema as Yammer.com so that a conversation, community, storyline, etc. have their own distinct urls. We will make sure when we rebrand the Yammer domain to Viva Engage that all the links are backward compatible, so that the existing Yammer links work with the new rebranded Viva Engage experience.
