The mobile experience for Viva Connections will be available in Teams in the summer of 2021. Learn more what the mobile experience for Viva Connections can do for your employees, leaders, and IT.
In conjunction with the release of the mobile experience, we will also release an update to the desktop experience that will focus on improvements for IT administrators and deployment enhancements. This summer update will combine both the mobile and desktop configuration and deployment into the Teams admin console.
In this summer update we will also release web parts for the “dashboard” and “feed” to align with the mobile experience. These new web parts will enable the dashboard experience, authored in SharePoint, to be constant across all end points.
As web parts they will be available to add to any of your sites and allow you to leverage multiple columns and other advanced layouts on the desktop.
Stay tuned!
