M365 Changelog: Pausing the Briefing emails from Microsoft Viva

MC486289 – Based on customer feedback we’re taking some time to improve the content of the Briefing emails from Microsoft Viva to be more personalized for each recipient. We will pause sending these emails in early 2023 and will share an updated Briefing email roadmap later in 2023.

When this will happen:

The pausing of the email service will roll out to end users no earlier than January 15th 2023 and will be done by February 1st, 2023

How this affects your organization:

The result of this change is end users within your organization will no longer receive the daily briefing email from Microsoft Viva.

Users who rely on the daily briefing email functionality like meeting prep and outstanding task reminders, booking focus time, and recommendations to improve work patterns can instead visit the Viva Insights Outlook add-in or the Viva Insights app in Teams and web.

What you need to do to prepare:

• For information on the Briefing email and the functionality that will be paused for your end users please see Briefing email overview | Microsoft Learn
• For information on the Viva Insights application in Teams and on the web – which includes functionality like outstanding task reminders, booking focus time, and recommendations to improve work patterns – please see: Viva Insights app | Microsoft Learn
• Review and assess the impact on your organization and end-users
