Focus time - allow exceptions?
I love Focus time and have been using it for some time now. What I'd like to see is an exception so that I can leave say Friday mornings for 1:1s so even though my 8am-9am is open and potentially a candidate for Focus time, I would like to keep it open so my team can set up 1:1s during that time. Is this something that is on the roadmap?Set up Focus time without reminder?
In the past, I have been able to set up Focus time on my calendar and it has not had a reminder that pops up like a typical meeting reminder (15 minutes before the time starts). I went to the dashboard and did not a setting to set up Focus time without a reminder. Can you please enable that so that it blocks the time on my calendar but does not pop up that reminder 15 minutes before the event start time?
Viva no longer providing schedule send options
In Outlook (desktop, classic) Viva prompts to suggest scheduling emails at a good time, as illustrated below, which is great. Previously, clicking "Schedule send" opened a Viva panel that let you confirm the time at which you wished to schedule the send. Now, however, the panel opens with a bunch of irrelevant options and no option to schedule the send: How do I now get Viva to actually schedule the send for this email? Thanks
Viva Insights yields better results than Copilot
Is the Viva Insights Suggested Tasks being retired because Microsoft wants to sell more licenses for Copilot? I have tried to prompt Copilot to give me the same level of detail that Viva Insights gives. I have not had any prompts in M365 Chat that have worked as successfully as Viva Insight. What suggested prompts do you have that have worked in Copilot to give the same level of detail? From Microsoft Message Center Retiring of Suggested Tasks Insight Type MC714517 ยท QVC, INC. We will be retiring the 'suggested tasks' insight type which may appear on profile cards on Teams and Outlook When this will happen: We will begin rolling out in early March 2024 and expect to complete by late March 2024. How this affects your organization: After this change, users will no longer see the 'suggested tasks' insight type on profile cards. What you need to do to prepare: You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate. If your organization is AI-powered, Copilot offerings such as Microsoft 365 Chat may help users stay on top of their work. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/catch-up-on-things-quickly-with-microsoft-365-chat-cffb11c2-bb06-4d5b-bd4b-9497895daff3 https://support.microsoft.com/topic/suggested-tasks-in-viva-insights-b326af14-e527-43c2-a4d8-92f6700ce18f
viva insights is not working properly in sending scheduled email messages
look at this one down here, viva insights has this thing where you can schedule the action of sending emails, it prompts you this esp when the recipient is not in the working hours that are known to the exchange server. it works best with ms solutions. anyway, the action buttons that are supposedly beneficial to be used after you set up your message and clicked on send to schedule it to be sent at whatever date and time you set for it, do not work at all. all of them (send, don't send, feedback). the reason is unknown for me. like for that example up there, i can't action on the already scheduled email even if i changed my mind later on and want to stop it from being dispatched. that email is going there... whatever what! it just throws you this message "something went wrong" what could be the reason for this one? can someone put their insights... got it?!Protect Time Doesn't Auto Set Recurring Plan Appointments to Private
Location Settings -> Protect Time -> Configure your recurring plan for focus Suggestion Please add a radial select, button, dropdown, etc. to allow for us to set our focus appointments within Viva Insights to "private" automatically. Issue When I configured my recurring plan, it's great. It works as intended and appears to setup a new plan automatically, for two-week increments (the current week and the next week). What it doesn't allow, is for me to set my automatic privacy settings. I personally would like mine set to private due to calendar sharing. I have to go in and manually select each appointment to make them private which is definitely more work than I hoped for. Overall, I love this feature because prior to Viva Insights, I was doing this all manually. Thank you for the innovation!Make ease to use windows 11
Suggestions I would like to share with Microsoft windows 11 developers are... 1. What if icons in taskbar action in just one click. Reduction of clicks required for an action makes experience faster and smoother. e.g. If we clicked on Wi-Fi icon in taskbar Wi-Fi turns on and off, instead of clicking turn on button further. 2. Instead, Windows operating system came up to windows 11, but it has same monotonous boxy user interface. Icons and symbols need to be more designer and must seems smoother with animations. A bit changes in user interface in tilt of user friendly attracts users towards Microsoft. I am experiencing such more lack as user of Microsoft and various tending operating systems.Viva Leaf - Personal sustainability commitment
