In the ever-evolving world of technology, Microsoft is introducing a fresh update to its Viva Engage platform. This update is designed to make user interactions more engaging and visually appealing. Think of it as a facelift for the way we express our reactions in conversations.
Imagine you're at a social gathering, and instead of just nodding or giving a thumbs-up, you have colorful, interactive buttons to show your reactions. These buttons are not only more noticeable but also allow others to see and click on them, making the interaction more dynamic and engaging. This is similar to what Microsoft is doing with Viva Engage.
In the new design, reactions will appear as clickable pills across the conversation card. This means that when someone reacts to a post or comment, their reaction will be displayed in a more interactive and visually appealing way. It's like having a set of colorful, clickable stickers that you can use to express your feelings, and others can see and interact with them too.
This change aligns Viva Engage reactions with other Microsoft 365 products like Teams. If you're familiar with how reactions work in Teams, you'll find this update quite similar. It's a bit like updating the decor in your office to match the latest trends, ensuring everything looks cohesive and modern.
It's important to note that while the look and feel of the reactions are changing, the number of reaction icons available remains the same. So, you won't lose any of your favorite ways to express yourself.
This update will be visible on the web, as well as in the Teams and Outlook apps. Mobile apps and other integrated surfaces will also adopt this new design in the near future.
In summary, this update to Viva Engage is all about making interactions more lively and consistent across Microsoft 365 products. It's like giving your communication tools a fresh coat of paint, making them more enjoyable and easier to use.
