We've paused sending Briefing emails to make some improvements. You can still access the Viva Insights Outlook add-in or Viva Insights app in Teams for key functionality until this service resumes. For more information about this change, refer to Briefing pause.
In the Headspace section of the Briefing email, you can launch a guided meditation to start your day grounded and focused.
Before you can use Headspace, you need access to Viva Insights in Microsoft Teams. See Discover the Viva Insights app for details.
Note
Headspace is currently available only to you if your Outlook or Exchange Online language is set to English. Additional languages will be supported soon.
Start a guided meditation
In the Headspace section of a Briefing email, select Start meditating or select the Play button to open Headspace within the Viva Insights Teams app (if you're using a computer) or in Teams Mobile (if you're on a mobile device).
Before Teams opens, you might see a message about the "site is trying to open Microsoft Teams." If prompted to "always allow teams.microsoft.com to open links of this type in the associated app," you can select Open or Cancel. To continue to Teams and Headspace, select Open.
To start the meditation, select the Play button for Headspace to open it.
