Originally posted by Microsoft Sep 26, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

Admins will have the ability to turn off private message capabilities in their Viva Engage (Yammer) network. Once turned off, users will not see the feature in the frontend.

Once released, this setting is available for admins to use any time. If turning off private messages in existing networks, users will lose access to their messages. All content remains ingested and available via eDiscovery.
