We are excited to announce the launch of a new integration for Viva Engage within Microsoft Teams. As part of our ongoing efforts to enhance collaboration and engagement, this integration brings a seamless experience when using Teams and Engage together in the mobile app.
New Integration Highlights
The new integration is built from the ground up using Teams styling and brings our top features to your fingertips, including:
- Home feed: Stay on top of conversations from public and private communities you’re a part of. The rebuilt feed now includes storyline posts from leaders and people you follow and enables corporate communicators to feature conversations for greater visibility and lifespan. Check out our post about how we keep your feed personalized and fresh.
- Community feed: Connect, share ideas, ask questions, and collaborate on shared interests. You can post questions, share updates, give shoutouts, or make announcements—and even upvote or highlight the best answers.
- Leadership Corner*: Leaders can connect directly with their employees, share updates, and foster a sense of community and culture within their organization. Employees gain direct access to leadership updates and activity, keeping them included every step of the way.
- Campaigns*: Join and participate in campaigns while on the go. Organizations use campaigns to build company culture, community, and belonging.
- Answers*: Answers in Communities is available for both iOS and Android. On Android, you can also ask questions, share knowledge, and foster cross-organization collaboration in a dedicated Answers tab.
- Notifications in Activity: New reply and reaction notifications integrate with existing notifications in the Teams app, ensuring you don’t miss anything across your chat, channels, announcements, and communities.
Why This Matters
The integration of Engage within Microsoft Teams is a significant step towards creating a more connected and engaged workplace. By bringing together the best of both platforms, we are empowering employees to communicate and collaborate more effectively, share knowledge, and build stronger relationships.
Get Started Today
We invite you to explore the new Viva Engage integration in Teams and experience the benefits firsthand. The new app will be rolling out over the next few weeks—make sure you’ve updated Microsoft Teams from the app stores to the latest version.
You can add and manage the new experience as you would with the existing Engage app in Microsoft Teams. Simply pin the app and start receiving notifications. As an admin, you pin the app for your entire or part of your organization and rename the app to better suit your organization, such as to “Communities”. Later in April, the Engage app will be pinned as a part of the tailored apps for the frontline.
Stay tuned for more updates and features as we continue to integrate Viva Engage and Microsoft Teams experiences. We look forward to hearing your feedback.
