GET-IT Microsoft Cloud Security and Compliance 1-Day Virtual Conference LIVE! at 9:20 AM EST
MC362276 – The Briefing email from Microsoft Viva helps users start their day on track by surfacing information to prepare for upcoming meetings, follow up on outstanding tasks as well as protect time for independent work. Currently, the Briefing email is available for Microsoft 365 Enterprise users with Exchange Online mailboxes in these languages.
Some eligible Exchange Online users may not receive the briefing email today as they do not have their language preference set in Outlook. Starting in mid-May, the Briefing email will be sent in English to users who have their Outlook language setting as ‘null’. Users will receive an email for 30 days with a note requesting them to update their Outlook language preference. If users do not provide a language preference, the email will be discontinued after 30 days.
When this will happen:
Microsoft will begin rolling this out in mid-May and expect to complete rollout early August.

How this will affect your organization:
As this change begins rolling out, select users in your organization who previously could not receive the Briefing email because their mailbox language was set to ‘null’ will now begin receiving the Briefing email. So, you may see an increase in the number of users receiving the Briefing email starting in May
This feature is enabled by default and options are available to admins as well as end-users to opt out.
Note: The customized email is only available to an end user; no administrator or manager can see another individual’s Briefing email. All data is stored inside the user’s mailbox. Briefing email is subject to the same GDPR compliance terms as Office 365.
What you need to do to prepare:
Review and assess the impact on your organization. Additionally, you might consider updating your training and documentation as appropriate.
