Microsoft Viva: Updates to Connections on the web [MC855689]

Microsoft Viva Connections is already available in any browser, giving your employees easy access to Viva Connections outside of Teams.

We are working on an additional entry point to access Viva Connections on web. This entry point will allow your employees to access Connections on web from your organization’s Microsoft SharePoint home site.

[When this will happen:]

Targeted Release: We will begin rolling out early August 2024 and expect to complete by mid-August 2024.

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCCH, DoD): We will begin rolling out mid-August 2024 and expect to complete by late September 2024.

[How this will affect your organization:]

After this release, the Go to Connections link will display in the upper right of your company’s SharePoint home site menu. This feature will be on by default and accessible to all users in your tenant unless you turn it off.

[What you need to do to prepare:]

Inform your company and corporate communicators about the upcoming changes.

If your company is not ready to roll out Viva Connections to your employees, you can use a Navigation site setting to turn off the link to Connections on your SharePoint home site. This setting will be available to customers a few weeks before the rollout dates.

This rollout will happen automatically by the specified date with no admin action required before the rollout. You may want to update any relevant documentation.
