Imagine you're flipping through a magazine. As you turn the pages, some articles have little screens that start playing videos silently. You can watch them without sound, but if something catches your interest, you can tap to hear the audio. This is similar to what Microsoft Viva is doing with videos in the Engage feed.

As you scroll through your feed, videos will automatically start playing without sound, much like those silent screens in the magazine. They come with captions, so you can still follow along without needing to turn on the sound. If you want to hear more, just a simple click will turn on the audio.

For those managing the organization, there's an option to control this feature. It's like having a remote control for your team's magazine, deciding whether those silent videos should play automatically or not. This way, each organization can choose what works best for their environment and their team's preferences.
