What is Viva Engage?
Viva Engage is a collaboration and discussion platform from Microsoft that is somewhat similar to Facebook. The platform has been available with UiO login but has never been systematically implemented for use.
Why is Viva Engage discontinued at UiO?
Many of the features in Viva Engage, such as chat and discussions, are already covered by Microsoft Teams, and other aspects of knowledge sharing are handled with other services at UiO. The IT department has chosen to focus on a smaller number of services from Microsoft 365 to ensure good support. Additionally, certain components of Viva Engage, such as mass email distribution, have proven to be challenging.
What do I need to do?
There are not many people at UiO use Viva Engage. If you have not used Viva Engage, you do not need to take any action.
However, if you have used Viva Engage and have information there, such as video, images, or documents, that you wish to keep, you need to download it before March 14 and save it in an appropriate location. You cannot log in or retrieve information from Viva Engage after March 14.
