Unable to tag distribution lists (DLs) in Viva engage posts
Dear All, It would be helpful to have a feature in Viva Engage posts that allows us to tag DLs when needed. While planning a post, I noticed that cross functional teams are not part of the community for specific reasons, which I understand. Instead of reposting in their community, it would be useful if we could tag DLs so the original message reaches everyone intended.
Issue with notifications in external network
I am having problems with seeing notifications from external network (Microsoft's network to be exact). I can see the notification count all right: However upon clicking the bell, I get this error 90% of the time: What is really weird, is that every now & then it works just fine - it might take 10 times trying the bell icon, or 50, but those notifications will at some point be shown to me all right. I seem to be in tiny minority of people having this issue. Does anyone have any guidance or troubleshooting approach? Is this a setting in my home tenant, or Microsoft tenant? Account permissions? Does a log or telemetry exist anywhere where I could start asking the right questions how to resolve this. If anyone has any insight, that would be greatly appreciated Thanks, MaciejViva Engage Communities Gain Support for Sensitivity Labels
Viva Engage communities now support Purview container management labels (sensitivity labels that manage settings for groups, teams, communities, etc.). The update makes it possible to manage community settings like privacy through labels instead of settings applied to individual communities. Once communities have container management labels, you can manage the labels in the same way as when applied to Teams and Microsoft 365 groups. https://office365itpros.com/2026/04/03/container-management-labels-viva/Disable Sharing Outside of Private Group
I work in a large organization, and we have many private groups to avoid employees getting tired of seeing posts that are not relevant to them. However, it is difficult to tell whether a group is private or not, so users often end up sharing posts from private groups. Is there a way to disable the sharing option in our group? And could you please make it easier to see when a post is in a private group?
Security Settings not available
I am following https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/manage-engage-licenses-microsoft-365 to remove users from the access to VE by removing Microsoft licenses and changing a setting in VE to block users without the Viva Engage Core license. I am a global M365 admin. In the article the VE Network Admin Center is the one I've seen and used before (I assume from the old Yammer Network). However, when I try to access the admin center I get a view (like the picture below) that does not include a Security Settings Page, which based on the article is where I need to turn on the setting in VE to block users without the license. How do I get back to the old VE admin page or get to a place where I can access the security settings for my VE Environment?

Can you help Thanks, Ciaran
Adding external guest users
Hi, New to Viva and have a question about external/guest users. We are trying to add external users from multiple companies into select communities. A test external user has been created and accepted a B2B invitation, but there is no option to add the user into any communities by the community admin. What is the correct way to go about adding external users in Native mode?Yammer Community Azure synapse link (Not able to join because of geo location change)
We are not able to join my yammer communities in Viva Engage. Earlier I was using this group / community for all communicates related to Azure synapse link under Dynamic 365. If I access this link now it redirects me to my internal official communities. This is because we migrated from US to EU Geo location for Viva Engage. I don't think I can join using my work account now because of this geo change. Yammer community links are mentioned below https://www.yammer.com/dynamicsaxfeedbackprograms/#/threads/inGroup?type=in_group&feedId=14868684800 https://www.yammer.com/dynamicsaxfeedbackprograms/groups/32768909312 If I try using my personal account with sign up option, I am redirected to this page saying "Check your mail to complete registration" but I don't receive any mail. If I try to login option using personal account I am not able to do so since sign in is only possible using work account ? Find below the error. Can you let me know how can I join this community ? and I can then using which account ? Thank you
Inline 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?
