Updated September 18, 2025: We have updated the timeline. Thank you for your patience.
Introduction
We’re introducing a new AI audio briefing feature in Viva Connections for Teams mobile (iOS and Android). This feature provides users with a quick, AI-generated summary of top news items in their news feed, with playback controls such as play, pause, and speed adjustment. A Microsoft 365 Copilot license is required to access this feature.
This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 498233.
When this will happen
General Availability: We will begin rolling out late September 2025 (previously mid-September) and complete by end-November 2025.
How this affects your organization
Users with the Microsoft 365 Copilot license will be able to access the AI generated briefings in their Viva Connections news feed.
This feature is on by default and requires no configuration.
What you can do to prepare
- No action is required. The rollout will be automatic.
- You may wish to inform licensed users about the new feature and its capabilities.
