Hi! The Viva Engage app in Teams currently has its own notifications "bell" and the Inbox icon in the top right portion of the Engage app UX. This is where people can catch up on recent activity relevant for them. We are also adding notifications for certain Engage activity into the Teams Activity "bell", so people will see a badge on that bell with an unread count when they have received a Storyline Announcement, when they have activity in an AMA event, when they are mentioned by another person, when Storyline posts made by people they follow, etc. Overtime we will grow and refine these Teams activity notifications. There are not currently plans to give the Engage App Icon in the Teams bar its own unread activity count, mostly due to limitations in that functionality being exposed to all applications. We will take this feedback into consideration as we revisit that capability. Thank you. - Yes please!! This is the number one piece of feedback we have had from colleagues since surfacing Viva Engage in the Teams side bar....we're trying to reduce email and therefore loads of email notifications isn't what people want, unless it's an announcement it's just annoying them, they just want a notifications style nudge with a red dot on the Teams side bar to let them know there's something to go in and view in Viva Engage...just like they do with Teams Chat
emilywangHi Juliet, definitely! We are working on a more refined approach of which types of notifications should appear as an email (i.e. an important Announcement) vs. going into other channels (i.e. Teams, Viva Engage Bell), so we will continue to update our customers as we work through these changes and updates. Thanks for your patience!
