I'm part of the GTM Strategy for Worldwide Enablement & Readiness Communities at Microsoft. I was reviewing Viva Amplify, and this is an amazing tool that would greatly simplify my team's ability to consistently manage and communicate with our field members. How does one go about requesting access to be able to Create Campaigns? I have reviewed the demo AI Campaign, but do not have ability to create new campaigns? Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!
Viva Amplify From Address
Hi there I am currently trialling Amplify and am interested to know if it is possible to change the "From" address in publications. If I create a publication it comes from me as an individual but can I make these a Team or a shared mailbox address or a senior leader so the communication doesnt come from me. Hopefully it is an option I skimmed over. Thanks Ben

Is anyone out there really pushing SharePoint as a tool for non-office workers (I'm thinking corporate sales staff, customer service, distribution or manufacturing)? Is the mobile SharePoint app good enough to bring news to the right people, or to bring people to the right documents?News page measurement
Hello Friends Has anyone found a Microsoft or third party solution for measuring news pages? I know I can see it in the page, and via the library - hovering on the page name. When creating monthly reports on views it is really quite the task to get the data. Managed to use Content Search in SharePoint classic to get the data. Any successes with data beyond the 90 day cycle? Also considering where a page has been translated, pulling the page view totals together?Build a solid IT base

Hi Liz, I wanted to thank you for your ongoing support of the Viva Amplify community. I have a question regarding the detailed report section and was hoping you could help me out. Specifically, I'm trying to view the report grouped by location. Is this a feature that needs to be configured by our IT admin? If so, could you please provide me with some steps on how to enable it? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Best regards, ShohelLearn Viva Amplify: 8 lesson walk through
Hey communicators. With the release of Viva Amplify I recorded a 1 hour walk through to help us all get started. Or help organisations considering using Amplify to see what it's like. Whether it's your full-time role or one of the functions of your position, Amplify provides a way for us to create, coordinate, publish and report on our communications across multiple channels. As first release, it's quite functional. It makes smart use of a team for your campaign, the Amplify app for creating and coauthoring publications. The distribution channels help us reach our audiences where they are. We can only publish to the places we have access to. Reporting gives us views and some information about how people have responded to, reacted to, or promoted the publication. If you have access to Amplify, what do you think of it? Share your first impressions. If you are interested in seeing the walk-through, you'll find a playlist with 8 lessons to step through in your own timing.
The Increasing Vitality of Communications Leaders in Successful Business Transformation
Edelman's latest Future of Corporate Communications Report is worth of reading for those of us who support corporate communications and internal communications. Our role is increasingly valued and interrogated all at once. ...the manner in which organizations communicate in the face of change has evolved into a competitive advantage. And still, despite the increased call on communicators, against an increasingly complex backdrop of uncertainty, communicators are being asked to do more (with less), while the investment in the function has stalled. This is why investment in tools like Viva Amplify are so critical. And the role that Copilot will play is going to be increasingly important. How well are your teams keeping informed and engaged on AI? How can this community help each other in this era of AI?Getting Started with Viva Amplify
