Summary

Viva Insights will exclude meetings marked as 'Private' or 'Confidential' from metrics, starting mid-September 2024, with full rollout by mid-October 2024. No action is required from organizations, but updating training and documentation may be considered.

More information

End-users of Outlook have the ability to set a meeting to have a ‘Private’ or ‘Confidential’ sensitivity level in order to protect the information of a meeting they consider sensitive. To ensure that these meetings cannot be analyzed, Viva Insights would remove these meetings from metric computation.

When this will happen:

We will begin rolling this out in mid-September 2024 and expect to complete by mid-October 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

As this change begins rolling out, your organization will see the following updates:

  • Sensitive meetings would be excluded from the output of Meeting Query
  • Subjects of sensitive meetings would remain hidden and cannot be used in any query

What you need to do to prepare:

No action needed from your organization. You may consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
