Microsoft Viva Engage will soon introduce a new community to support the adoption of Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365, offering features like one-click community creation and a setup checklist. Rollout begins late May 2024, with completion expected by early June 2024. No action is required from admins before the rollout.

Coming soon to in Microsoft Viva Engage: Network admins and corporate communicators will be able to enable a new type of community specifically built to facilitate the rollout and adoption of Microsoft Copilot for Microsoft 365 in their organizations. This community can bring employees together in a community of practice where employees can ask questions, seek support from both their peers and IT admins, share best practices, and learn more from articles and quick tips on how best to use Copilot for Microsoft 365.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late May 2024 and expect to complete by early June 2024.

How this will affect your organization:

The templatized Copilot adoption community will save time for community managers when creating and setting up a community, driving community engagement, and managing a community.

Key features

  • Home feed banners to bring awareness of this new community type to network admins and corporate communicators
  • One-click community creation
  • Community setup checklist
  • Suggested content
  • Conversation starters
  • Top questions
  • Suggested members (based on an organization’s Copilot for Microsoft 365 license assignment)

After rollout, network admins and corporate communicators in organizations with Copilot for Microsoft 365 licenses will see a box in their home feed and in the Viva Engage admin center announcing this new templatized community type.
