  • For my company's tenant, we have not yet enabled Storylines and Stories, and we do not have any of the new premium features (Leadership corner, Questions, AMAs, etc.), however, the notification settings for these features appear in Teams. Could these be hidden? Having settings appear for features that aren't turned on is confusing. Thank you!

      It is my understanding that for the premium Engage features you need the Viva Suite license. The Engage as part of your E3 or E5 license does not include these features.

    To add on the previous question - can the notification settings (avoiding notifications in email) can be changed in bulk (for the company) at once? And how about the notification settings in MS Teams?

      Rebranding and talk about notifications in general is covered around the 30:00 mark in the live stream. But more to come on this, and a lot of this is being considered and looked at this very moment.
  • Hi! I have some questions about Viva Engage notifications:

     

    - First of all, it is very confusing that the notifications comes in Viva Engage inbox (which sounds like a direct message, but is not), Viva engage notification (the bell) and in teams activity. Why three places?

     

    - Our wish would be to get all notifications in teams activity notification, to have everything in one place. When i google when are we going to get notifications in the teams "activity", it says:

    "Notifications in the Teams Activity app With the Viva Engage app, you'll get notifications in your Teams activity for:

    • @mentions sent to you

    • announcements from communities that you've joined in your home network

    • Yammer communities to which you've been joined"

    But that does not always happen.. So how does it actually work?

     

    - And lastly, the only personal settings we can do in Viva Engage/Yammer is to choose which notifications we want on e-mail. Will there come a better way to personalise the Viva Engage notifications? We do not want the notification on e-mail at all, but would like change how employees receive notifications in teams/viva.

     

    Hope you can answer these questions. Thanks in advance 🙂

      Yes! Towards the end of the calendar year the domain will change, but will auto direct for awhile.
