That’s a wrap! Thank you for joining our Microsoft Viva Engage AMA today! We appreciate all the great questions and hope you learned something new! I'll be locking this event to new questions, but our experts will still be able to respond to any unanswered questions. Stay tuned for more Microsoft Viva Engage news!
For any other questions about Viva Engage, head to the Viva Community Discussion Space.
- Hello, would you be able share some screenshot/image of the Viva Engage Outlook and mobile apps (iOS and Android)? Since these are rolling out sometimes this month, Microsoft must have the latest versions of these. We need these to update our users of the upcoming branding change. Thx
- Very good session - thank you!
- Can you embed a Microsoft Form (poll) into a Yammer / Viva Engage post in addition to the existing polling feature?
- MichaelHolste
Microsoft
Not at this time. Our recommendation would be to include the link in the post.
- How will Delve aka the social idea behind SharePoint MySites be integrated into Viva Engage and when?
- Paul_BarrWe'd love to hear more about how you use Delve today? We are definitely looking into additional ways to surface MSGraph data in Viva Engage through integrations with the Live People Card and other areas, but we don't have anything to announce at this time.
- Delve is used occasionally by M365 enthusiasts but not by a broader audience. Our company wants to do more with the idea of people profiles and is looking for ways to do that. We'll put Delve into the Global navigation of our SharePoint landscape and integrate it into the Viva Connect Dashboard, especially for Frontline workers who use the dashboard in Teams on their mobile phone.

Just curious, Carsten, how do you incorporate Delve into your workflow today?
- Actually we don’t due to the lack of integration and no development of the service in the last couple of years. But we need more than ever a place where the Office profile can be maintained, preferably with customizable fields.
- Will there be a 'Frequently Asked Questions' document included in the rebranding toolkit for employees who are familiar with Yammer and have questions about the change?
- Yes - we will include some high-level FAQs and an updated editable FAQ (in word) for you to add any additional details and for you can share to your employees. Plus, we may even add use some of the questions asked here as well.
- Is the announcement feature still available including email notification after rebranding?
- Jason_MayansYes, the announcement feature is still there. We've also added an announcement capability for leaders on Storyline, for Viva Suite customers.
- Well, it's going to take some time for us to get over the name 'Yammer' and start realising it as Viva engage. But I feel this looks promising. Hopefully this will also be seen as a better service with strong integration with other 0365 apps. Way to go Microsoft. All the best!! Thanks for a wonderful session today.
What about exstisting Yammer webparts on SharePoint sites? Will the webpart still exist after the re-branding?
- espnguyenThe primary change will just be rebranding the name of the web part. The webpart will continue to exist.
- Is there any documentation of timelines with milestones for the changes/rebranding?
- jamestyerHi Andrew. You can see our timeline in the recent blog: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/yammer-blog/yammer-is-evolving-to-viva-engage/ba-p/3738825
- thanks! It doesnt have dates on it.
- Are these changes going to be included in the Viva Suite Trial through the Evaluations Center and also via CDX?
- espnguyenWe're working on making Viva Engage trials available to customers. We're also actively working on getting the CDX demo tenants updated to include all the new premium capabilities in addition to content to go along with it. DM me if you have more questions on this.
- Okay will do, as a bit disappointing it is not already there.
- Is it possible to disable the new features, which will be able for Viva Suite customers only in future?
- MichaelHolsteYes, Leadership Corner can be turned off: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/leadership-identification AMAs will soon be able to be turned off. Sentiment analysis can also be disabled, as can Answers in Viva.

- Jason_MayansIf users are not licensed for the new features, then they will not see them - no need to block.
- Thx! 😊
