About the last release (Feature ID 98112), we would ask how it's possible to set off the Viva Connection notifications on Teams mobile App.
They are frequently showed in the "Activity" section, for each one news published into SharePoint sites.
It's impossible to distinguish them from a relevant notification (for example, missed calls or chat reactions).
Thanks

Hi @Antonio
We will check it later.
Hello we should have a way to manage those notifications more accurately. It has become a big annoyance for our users. It should clearly be based on the sites you Follow or the news you liked. Also the way to follow/unfollow sites should be easier. For example by adding a shortcut to follow/unfollow next to the site title or via an overflow menu on the site pills that show in the news webparts. C'mon Microsoft this is obvious UX reasoning.......

I receive Viva Connections notifications for every page published in our corporate Intranet SP Online sites. I do not follow any of the sites. We use a third party tool to translate news posts published in these sites which creates a new page in the target language which is also published. I receive a notification for each page published in the source language as well as up to 28 target languages. I would appreciate a way of turning off Viva Notifications in the Teams mobile app without having to resort to turning off all notifications.

It would be great to give us (admin) option to turn off completely notification from Viva connection. Microsoft encouraged companies to integrate their Intranet as Teams apps and now our users are annoyed by frequent notification, where source is Viva connection on Teams mobile app :(
It seem we found solution on the user lever. It can be done in notification when you disable Apps on Teams in General activity. We are still testing no notification is received from viva connection.
Thank you for the suggestion. I recall trying this option a couple of months ago and noted that toggling the Apps on Teams switch had no effect on Viva Connections notifications. I am trying again to see if the latest installed version shows a different result.
Ok for the User level, but we need to understand how to configure it on the Admin side for an entire organization. Thanks
As of today, I can verify that switching off Apps on Teams under Settings/General Activity where it lists "Notify me for" does not stop the Viva Connections notifications from appearing in Activity on the mobile app. So, not working at the user level for me.
I can confirm that this is not workaround, because we started to get Viva connection notification again to Teams. Any comment from Microsoft how to solve this on Admin / user level?

I found an instruction from Microsoft. However, after some tests, it appears this doesn't work.
"Can I selectively enable or disable some of these notifications?
Notifications can't be selectively enabled or disabled, but users can toggle push notifications in Teams mobile for all apps (including Viva Connections) under Settings > Notifications > General Activity > Apps on Teams." [...]
We tried working with audience targeting instead, since Microsoft states that these will be honored by the notification feed:
"Authors can set an audience on their news posts and notifications will honor the audience that is set. Only users part of the selected Microsoft 365 audience(s) specified will receive notifications."
After some tests, we found out that this is also not working.
As mentioned above, there needs to be a setting to enable/disable these notifications from an admin side for an organization.
For now, at least the audience targeting and the manual disabling of notifications should be working ...
We don't use Audience on the news posts. Our intranet was designed to be transparent.
Apps on Teams doesn't work, we are still getting notifications to our Teams mobile :(
