We are excited to announce the launch of Viva Engage community creation API beta endpoint on MS Graph: Use the Microsoft Graph API to work with Viva Engage (preview)
Many of our customers have requested this capability in the past to programmatically create communities instead of creation via Engage UI. We invite you to try this beta endpoint and provide us with feedback.
You can now send email with High or Low importance from Outlook for iOS just like you can on Outlook for Windows and Web. You can find the Importance button in the command bar when drafting an email, and you can set the importance level to High, Normal, or Low.

Audio and Video flyouts in Teams enable users to efficiently manage their audio and video settings during meetings. These features are easily accessible, allowing users to control their devices and adjust key audio and video features quickly and effortlessly, without needing to navigate through multiple layers of settings.
Users can access this feature in 3 ways:
Copilot is coming to Viva Engage! In mid-January, a new control will be available on your Viva Engage admin dashboard in the Analytics and AI section. This control will enable you to activate the preview of Copilot in Engage for all users with a premium license. Licensing requirements for these features post preview are yet to be confirmed.
Copilot provides access to Large Language Model (LLM) technology, with Microsoft Responsible AI protections, to assist users as they access and create value through Viva Engage.
Network analytics is coming to Viva Engage! In mid-January, admins and corporate communicators will be able to monitor organization-wide engagement via the network analytics dashboard. Additionally, a new control will be available on your Viva Engage admin dashboard in the Analytics and AI section that will enable you to activate summarization and theme extraction for your network with Microsoft Responsible AI protections, to assist users as they access network-wide data about employee engagement on the platform.

In late January 2024, we are updating the name of the service plan used to manage commercial data protection for Microsoft Copilot to increase clarity:
We are providing a new service that lets you easily create a translated copy of a selected file or a set of files in a SharePoint document library. You can translate a file while preserving the original format and structure of the file. This feature supports a large number of languages and file types either manually or automatically by creating a rule.

The current Content Explorer Export feature has a limitation of exporting data only after drilling down to specific location. The new feature coming to General Availability will allow admins to use a new cmdlet within the Security and Compliance PowerShell, Export-ContentExplorerData, to export all rows of data for the content that are scanned and shown on Content Explorer.

“Turn off copying or forwarding of meeting chat” is a new meeting option that gives the meeting organizer the option to disable copying and sharing features on meeting chat messages for participants to reduce the risk of data leak. Once this restriction is enabled, meeting chat participants will not be able to copy chat messages using menu options or keyboard shortcuts, or forward or share messages to Outlook. There is also a new Meeting Policy setting in Teams admin center for admin to control whether users can see or use this feature in the Meeting Options page. Admins can also set the default value for this meeting option in Meeting Templates that they create. This meeting capability can also be configured within a sensitivity label policy: Configure Teams meetings with protection for highly sensitive data.

You will be able to toggle between View and Edit modes when viewing a Stream video. In View mode users can only view the video. In Edit mode users with edit permission can edit the video metadata such as title, description, chapters, and transcript. The default mode will be View. The View/Edit mode toggle is designed to prevent accidental edits to video metadata.
