How this will affect your organization:

Viva Connections users will be able to view and interact with their Viva Engage feed through the new Stay Engaged card in the dashboard under these conditions:

• Unconfigured or default state: If the Connections dashboard is in an unconfigured or default state and Viva Engage is enabled for the tenant, this card will be added to the Connections dashboard by default in the fourth position for all users.
• Configured dashboard: If the dashboard has already been configured and Viva Engage is enabled for the tenant, the card will not be added to the dashboard by default. Connections editors can add the card to the dashboard for their users.

When the card is available on your company dashboard, a user can select the card to load Engage app in Teams, where the user can view and engage with feed conversations. User can select Back to return to Connections.
