40 TopicsTrimming Viva Engage default “All Company” community membership
Hey Question/problem statement: I’m looking in if there is a possibility of trimming the Viva Engage default “All Company” community membership list/count? Background: We have a lot of “external/contractors” that are fully O365 E3 licensed, and it also semes disable user if still with in the count (this is just a speculation), that we wish to remove from the membership list/count. My thoughts: Is the trimming the membership count just removing the Viva Engage Core (but all so removing the “external/contractors” access, which is fine) Or is it at all possible to trim the member list?Solved551Views0likes4CommentsInline images still not available for Discussions and Questions
I understand that "Articles" is a new premium feature for Viva Engage that allows inline images when creating an article. However, does anyone know why inline images are still not available in "Discussions" and "Questions" post options? This feature has been missing since day one for those post types. Although it became available last year with "Articles," it has yet to be integrated into the most frequently used post types in Engage, where it is desperately needed. What is the reasoning behind this?98Views0likes1CommentUsage Of Custom Email Domain for Viva Engage communications
Can you use a custom domain for all Viva Engage communications? Currently there's security concerns that emails from Viva Engage can not be allow listed since they use the same domain other tenants use. We have security concerns this maybe exploited by attackers looking to exploit the platform in malicious email attacks. What controls are there (if any) to send engagements from our custom accepted domain for the tenant so our cybersecurity teams don't have security concerns? Also can you provide documentation that keeps the platform from being exploited by a threat actors from targeting other Microsoft 365 tenants? What controls have been implemented to keep this from being active exploited? Or has this been considered? This has legitimate concerns from our cybersecurity teams. Defender 365 solutions are not an acceptable answer.72Views0likes2CommentsPrivate Communities: Enable "Unlisted" Status and Hide Membership on Storylines
When using private communities in Viva Engage, it's not always desirable for these communities to be discoverable. A welcome addition would be the ability to set an Engage community as both private and unlisted, thereby removing the option for users to apply for membership. Currently, if a user is a member of a private community, this membership is visible to others on that user's storyline. This means it's possible to piece together the membership of private communities by viewing individual users' storylines.136Views0likes1CommentUsers in "view-only mode" get stuck in the Acceptable Use Policy
Background I work with a company that is using Viva Engage. In some of their Communities, they have set restrictions so that only those who are Community Admins are allowed to post posts. When a Community Admin create a post and attaches an Excel file to the post, the Excel file is editable by all members of the Community. (Actually, it would have been optimal if the setting that limits who can post posts had also limited the ability to edit attached files, but that is not the case.) The setting i have tested Therefore, i tested "Manage user privileges with view-only mode in Viva Engage". As a Viva Engage administrator, I opened the Viva Admin Center and opened the "Governance and Compliance" tab. Under this tab there is an option called "User Management" where you can "adjust user settings surrounding the creation and visibility of contents". This sounded good, so I added the users that I wanted to limit these possibilities for so that they would basically only have read-only access to the community. The problem that arises This is where the strange problem arises. When these users, who I added under "User Management" now enter a community, the window with "Acceptable Use Policy" appears and it is completely OK but after that there is no possibility to accept, close or exit this window. Is this a bug or is there any additional setting that I have to turn on for this to work as intended?95Views0likes0CommentsMerge 2 communities in Viva engage and delete one
Hello Members, Please help me with this requirement below a) Remove/close this viva community - News - 6.2k users b) Continue with this community only - News in Exchange - 4.7k users When the News group is deleted, it would be good if the people that are in group a) are automatically added to group b) so they don´t need to enter another group on their own. Is there a proper process/solution for this? Thanks!427Views0likes6CommentsAvoid no-member user discussion partecipation in private community
Hi, I want to use Viva Engage but when I create a private community I noticed that in a discussion a member can mention or add a user who is not a member of the community! This non-member user gets an email with which he views the specific discussion and can participate by making a contribution. But what if I want to prevent non-member users from being added in discussions? Is there any way to disable this feature which moreover conflicts with the definition of a private community in Viva Engage where "only approved members can view and participate in the discussion"?96Views0likes0CommentsHow to download/export usernames in Viva Engage?
Hi, I am trying to find ways to download information who has posted a comment, and other information as shown below. I tried exporting page analytics, but it does not show me the names and also, I need the counts. Who has responded to the discussion? Who has submitted a picture How many likes received on the picture How many comments received on the picture How many likes/loves received on the comments How many responses submitted on a discussion How many likes received on the discussion How many comments received on the response How many likes/loves received on the response Does anyone know how can I get this? Many thanks in advance! Thanks BanashreeSolved221Views1like2CommentsInvite guests to Viva Engage Community
I am looking into using Viva Engage but it is a deal breaker for us that guests with non-microsoft accounts cannot be added. It looks like the old Yammer used to allow external users to join? but the new Viva Engage does not? I have read articles about the new B2B guest framework https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/work-with-external-users/collaborate-guests-external-viva-engage-community What I am trying to achieve though is allowing personal accounts, gmail, hotmail, etc Our use case is that we have a company community, but would like to invite a small number of guests into our community prior to them joining our team to give them a feel for how the business operates. I would be happy to assign purchase and assign licenses, but there is no easy way for non Office365 admins to do so. It would also cause friction to ask a new person that is not part of our business to use a new MS email account. Ideally this is how I would see it working Just allow guests to join with personal accounts. Community admins can just type in their email and invite them. We could have a pool of available Viva Engage licences. Community admins can invite a guest via their personal email address and assign an available licence.Solved466Views0likes1Comment
