Update | Viva Connections Feed web part and video news link retirement

As a follow-up, we’d like to let you know about any upcoming changes and what steps you should take.

Progress updates

On September 1, 2024, you successfully removed the feed for the Viva Connections web part from the toolbox and the video news link from the + New menu on your organization site. This was the first step in our plan to streamline and improve the user experience across our applications.

What’s next?

We are now approaching the second phase of this retirement plan. Starting November 5, 2024, support for feeds and video news links for the Viva Connections web part will end. This means that instances of these features that are not replaced by the recommended replacement solution will no longer display content and will display a blank web part or error message.

action needed

If you have not already done so, we strongly encourage you to do so before November 5, 2024. Site editors should update affected sites with recommended alternative solutions such as News, Viva Engage, Files & Media, and Highlight Content Web. Parts, Videos page.
