Hello dear community, I love viva enage and the path it has taken. Now with the co-pilot in preview, things are really coming together. Just one question has been bothering me for a long time: Does anyone here know why emojis have not been used on a social platform like this until now? Yes, you can react with emojis, but what would be much more important is to use emojis when writing a discussion question or post. And if someone knows the answer, why was it omitted ? Many thanks in advance.Notification Experience in Viva Engage
Our company has recently adopted Viva Engage, and we've been receiving a lot of feedback from our users regarding the notification system, particularly around how it affects their ability to stay informed without being overwhelmed. We have also noticed a significant reduction in engagement from users since moving from WorkPlace to Viva Engage. Here are the main concerns we've encountered: Users who have email notifications enabled are receiving far too many alerts. Many have expressed a desire to receive email notifications only for new posts, not for every comment or reply. Those who have turned off email notifications often forget to check Viva Engage because the only way to see new activity is to manually open the app and check The app icon doesn’t show any indication of new activity. We have not adopted using the announcement feature and we don't intend to as: Only defined community specialists and admins are allowed to use this feature and we do not want to make every employee a specialist/admin for every Engage Community It requires people to remember to use the feature for every new post There are no pop-up notifications like in Microsoft Teams. The counter in Viva Engage shows updates for both new posts and comments, which many users find distracting. They would prefer to have the option to see in-app counters only for new posts, not for every interaction. I have seen people suggest the following workaround: manually unfollowing each post to avoid comment notifications. This solution is not scalable or user-friendly IMO. A more elegant solution would be to reverse the logic: users should only receive comment notifications if they choose to follow a post. Suggested Improvements: Add granular notification settings (e.g., toggle for “new posts only” vs. “all activity”). Introduce pop-up notifications for new posts, similar to Teams. Allow users to follow posts only if they want updates, rather than being auto-subscribed. Improve visual indicators on the app icon to show unread activity. We believe these changes would significantly improve the user experience and help drive engagement without overwhelming users. Has anyone else faced similar issues? Would love to hear your thoughts or if Microsoft has any updates planned in this area. Thanks!Modern external network migration, how to sign into new tenant with admin account.
Hi there I'll try and explain this as best I can, I'm getting confused about what to do myself now!!! we managed to get an extension from MS to migrate a Yammer external network site to Viva until 31st August. I am following this guide https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/configure-your-viva-engage-network/modern-external-networks I have used my global admin account e.g. myadmin@existing_tenant.onmicrosoft.com from my current tenant to create a new entra work_force tenant (aaa_vivaengage.onmicrosoft.com) so far so good. I can't seem to figure out how to sign into the NEW TENANTs viva engage page with my admin account to generate the association token, I need to use myadmin@existing_tenant.onmicrosoft.com on engage.cloud.microsoft according to the instructions, when I try and do that I am taken to the engage management interface for my existing tenant and all its current content not the new one I've created (aaa_vivaengage.onmicrosoft.com). Essentially, how do I do this bit: As the Viva Engage Global Administrator, go to engage.cloud.microsoft and sign into Viva Engage on the new Microsoft Entra tenant. I can't see a way of switching engage tenants once signed in or beforehand. I am able to create a new global admin account in the new entra tenant and sign into the associated new engage tenant with that but I can't generate the association token using that account and pair the parent and new tenants as the token needs to be created using the admin account that created the new tenant in the first place (myadmin@existing_tenant.onmicrosoft.com). If I try doing that I get an invalid token error when trying to redeem the code in the parent tenant. Any suggestions much appreciated.Solved112Views1like4CommentsHow to download/export usernames in Viva Engage?
