Viva Topics App for MS Teams
First, I have just setup Viva Topics via the M365 Admin, assigned the correct roles (even though I'm a global admin) to assign licenses to three test users. When I go to the main SharePoint site, I get an error stating "Ask a Knowledge Administrator a Viva Topics license to you" when I already have one assigned. Second, when I go to Team there is no Viva Topics App, how do I get the app or is there an app? All of Microsoft's Demos show a Topics App pinned on the left side bar. Have I missed something?
- Hi! Make sure you configure the roles even though you are a global admin! As a global admin you can assign yourself as a knowledge admin.

Also AFAIK, the Topics app is not yet released
Adam- Craig BielefeldCopper ContributorIs there a timeline as to when the app will be released? How are we to use Topics with Teams if there is no app?

Craig Bielefeld In the meantime, do you know more about your question? I would also be interested to know when the Viva Topic app for MS Teams will be released.
