Meeting Category Trends and Details in the Viva Insights App in Teams and Meeting Category Insights Card in Digest Email MC434658 · Published Sep 19, 2022 · Last updated Oct 21, 2022

Updated October 21, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Categories in Outlook and Teams allow users to easily tag, label, and group calendar events. In the Viva Insights app in Teams, using meeting category insights in the Effective meetings tab, users can see a percentage breakdown of how they are distributing their time across their categories.

An upcoming update to this feature will allow users to:

See how their meeting time distribution has changed over the last 3 months, the last 4 weeks, and the next 4 weeks under meeting trends

View the list of meetings in each category, with details including meeting name, total time spent, duration of each instance, and cadence, under meeting details

We are also releasing a new card in the Digest email from Microsoft Viva that summarizes their meeting category insights. In this card, users will be able to see up to 3 categories in which they have spent the most time over the last 4 weeks. This card will show the percentage of time each category contributed to the user’s total meeting time in the last 4 weeks, as well as how that percentage has changed from the previous 4 weeks. The explore more button provides an easy way to navigate to meeting category insights in the Viva Insights app, where users can explore percentage breakdown, trends, and details.

These features will be available for users who have a Viva Insights subscription.

New home experience for Viva Connections desktop MC447338 · Published Oct 17, 2022

A new desktop experience is being released for Viva Connections that’s easier and faster to set up and optimizes content to deliver a modern employee experience. The new Viva Connections desktop design serves as a new home experience option that centers essential job tasks, personalized content, easy access to other Viva experiences, and better aligns with the mobile experience.

It uses existing assets from your organization’s home site and Viva Connection’s Dashboard, Feed, and Resources. If your organization already has Viva Connections set up, you’ll have the option to choose to keep the existing desktop experiences that features the home site or to use the new home experience. Learn more about the new Viva Connections home experience.

Key points:

  • If you’ve already set up Viva Connections, existing content will pre-populate the new home experience.
  • If you haven’t set up Viva Connections yet, the default experience includes starter cards on the Dashboard but otherwise doesn’t impact the current mobile experience.
  • When the new home experience becomes available, there will be an option to select the default landing experience if your organization already has a home site.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 99917

The new home experience will become available to Targeted release customers soon. More details about the release schedule will be shared in a MC post in the near future.

The new home experience will become generally available in 2023.
