The "mute user" feature in Microsoft Viva Engage allows users to filter out less relevant conversations from their feed and digests while still receiving direct notifications or mentions, with admins having the ability to enable or disable this feature for the entire network.

Direct effects for Operations**

User Engagement
The introduction of the mute user feature may lead to decreased user engagement as users may choose to mute posts from colleagues, resulting in a less collaborative environment.
