Microsoft Viva Insights

Are you having some trouble making your day-to-day work schedule manageable? Microsoft developed an application where you can personalize recommendations that can help you manage your time and keep you up to date on tasks that need to get done for the day. Microsoft Viva Insights is part of Microsoft Viva. This application has a web feature and tools that can help people or businesses with data-driven, privacy-protected insights and recommendations to improve productivity and well-being. As for the Viva insight topic, we will focus mainly on the Outlook Add-in of Viva Insights. Before you get started using the Add-in ensure you have the following requirements met:

Have an applicable Microsoft 365 plan, and at least 24 hours have past since the license has been activated and assigned.

Add-In commands are enabled for the outlook add-in.
Internet Explorer version 10 or 11 is installed on your computer. Any modern browsers, such as Google Chrome, Firefox, etc… will also work.
