Invite guests to Viva Engage Community
I am looking into using Viva Engage but it is a deal breaker for us that guests with non-microsoft accounts cannot be added. It looks like the old Yammer used to allow external users to join? but the new Viva Engage does not? I have read articles about the new B2B guest framework https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/work-with-external-users/collaborate-guests-external-viva-engage-community What I am trying to achieve though is allowing personal accounts, gmail, hotmail, etc Our use case is that we have a company community, but would like to invite a small number of guests into our community prior to them joining our team to give them a feel for how the business operates. I would be happy to assign purchase and assign licenses, but there is no easy way for non Office365 admins to do so. It would also cause friction to ask a new person that is not part of our business to use a new MS email account. Ideally this is how I would see it working Just allow guests to join with personal accounts. Community admins can just type in their email and invite them. We could have a pool of available Viva Engage licences. Community admins can invite a guest via their personal email address and assign an available licence.SolvedTimM1Jan 30, 2025Copper Contributor86Views0likes1CommentHow to download/export usernames in Viva Engage?

I have a scenario where an existing dated "All Company" community exists in Viva Engage from Yammer days and dating back to 4 or so years ago. The contents of this community (including posts, members, etc) are no longer relevant to the organisation as it has evolved a lot since then. The organisation now wants to adopt Viva Engage as an ESN but with a "fresh start". So they are keen to delete all existing communities, including the All Company one. I would like to understand if there is a best practice way to deleting an "All Company" community in Viva Engage? This help article (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/manage-viva-engage-groups/all-company-community) seems to indicate that the "All Company" community can be treated like any other regular community: "You can delete All Company in Microsoft Entra ID, which takes it through a soft-delete and then a hard-delete process." However, people in this discussion thread - as recent as Oct 2024, have reported having difficulties: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/discussions/viva_engage_administration/delete-default-all-company/4186461 The thread indicates that if someone deletes the All Company - the community continues to show as existing for users - leading to an experience where people click on the community only to find it is deleted. I am wondering if there is a recommended way to delete and re-creating the All Company community? For example should we delete the relevant M365 group from Entra? If yes - when we recreate the community - do we do it from Engage and then go to Entra to set some additional properties to indicate it is the new "All Company"?SolvedParulDec 04, 2024Copper Contributor438Views3likes1CommentViva Engage: Where can I see who consented to usage policy?

The status of the Alignment Tool has been "In Progress" since June for one of my tenants. I have no idea why - we have no data of value in the original Yammer, but now we are considering trying out Viva Engage and can't seem to create *any* external communities and I suspect it has to do with being stuck in this state. I've reached out to technical support, provided detailed descriptions, screen shots, videos of what we're doing, and the error results, as well as Fiddler traces etc. The "Upgrade" reports are all visible, and mostly empty. Can anyone suggest what we could be doing to get this alignment tool "unstuck"? At this point we're willing to wipe the entire thing clean and start from scratch. Thanks!SolvedTLCAdminSep 06, 2024Brass Contributor413Views0likes5CommentsRoadmap - Languages?

Hello, We have been testing Viva Engage to see if it is something we can make available for our employees. I have noticed that the layout I am seeing and the layout I have seen on the internet for Viva Engage differ a bit. Does anyone know why this is happening? Is it a setting somewhere, different license, something else? On the internet, tabs at the top, no left menu What I see. No tabs, left menu (the button does not close the menu, but just shows other viva apps), title is Engage, not Viva EngageSolvedIvanSTMay 13, 2024Brass Contributor510Views0likes4Comments- Cathrina_de_LangeApr 30, 2024Copper Contributor249Views0likes1Comment
