Updated February 20, 2026: We have updated the content. Thank you for your patience.
[Introduction]
We are expanding AI-powered audio overview capabilities in Microsoft Viva Connections and SharePoint. This update introduces support for additional languages in the Viva Connections news reader experience and brings AI-generated audio summaries to SharePoint site pages and news posts when the SharePoint Knowledge agent is enabled. These enhancements provide greater accessibility and help users stay informed in the way that best fits their work style.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 535423.
[When this will happen]
- Targeted Release (Worldwide): We began rolling out in mid-January 2026 and expect to complete by the end of January 2026.
