Microsoft Viva Engage: New recommended comments feature [MC982552]

Coming soon: New recommended comments marked as Relevant for you in some conversations in the home feed of the Microsoft Viva Engage web experience. This feature is designed help users find relevant, meaningful responses in large discussion threads.

The recommended comments feature is available to all users with an Engage license and is not a premium feature.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 420338.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out early February 2025 and expect to complete by late March 2025.

[How this will affect your organization:]

The recommended comments feature enhances the conversation view in feeds, which shows the two most recent comments by default.

When conversations have a large volume of comments and replies relevant to the user, two Relevant to you comments will display as the default feed view. Users can select Show more comments to expand all comments in the thread:

Zoomed-in view of the Relevant to you comments and the Show more comments feature:

Recommended views vary by user and may not appear on all conversation threads. Comments from a user’s leaders or close connections may show more often in the recommended view.

This change is available in the home feed of Engage on the web and on Windows desktop and the Engage app in Teams and Outlook. Conversations in community feeds are not affected by this change.

Network and Engage admins can turn off recommended comments in the Engage admin center. This feature is on by default:

[What you need to do to prepare:]
