Environment requirements for Viva Insights

Environment requirements vary depending on the type of insights you view in Microsoft Viva Insights. The types of insights are: personal insights, manager insights or leader insights in Microsoft Teams, and advanced insights in the web-based service.

Personal insights

Microsoft Viva Insights provides personal insights in the Viva Insights app in Teams and on the web, Briefing emails, Viva digest emails, Viva Insights Outlook add-in, and inline suggestions.

Important

We've paused the Digest email, which is typically sent twice a month. All the content from Digest emails will still be available within the Viva Insights app in Teams or on the web. You can continue to explore and analyze your data insights seamlessly. To learn more about this change, refer to the Digest email pause.

Important

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.

Prerequisite and exclusion

Manager, leader, and advanced insights

With the applicable Viva Insights licensing, your company can get manager and leader insights in Teams, and advanced insights features as an add-on to the licensing agreement.

Microsoft Exchange Online provides much of the collaboration data that Viva Insights uses. For this reason, we recommend you have a Microsoft 365 or an Office 365 product that contains Exchange Online Plan 1 and Plan 2.

Channel support

Other channels such as Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) don't support the addition of Viva Insights at this time. Also, note the following circumstances for various types of customers:

Type Notes
Education Supported only for the analysis of faculty at this time, not for students.
Commercial You can add Viva Insights with commercial enrollments.
Non-profit Viva Insights can be used by nonprofits but non-profit pricing isn't available.

Tenant environments

Viva Insights requires the applicable Viva Insights licensing and a Microsoft 365 or Office 365 tenant with Exchange Online Plan 1 or Plan 2.

Viva Insights licenses

Assign licenses to the users whose mailboxes you want to analyze. They include all the employees in your organization or a specific subset. To ensure statistical significance and meaningful comparative analysis, companies get the most benefit when they deploy Viva Insights to the entire company or to a large group of employees.

Pricing

Contact your Microsoft account team for pricing. If you have questions about licensing, have your admin reach out to your Microsoft account team, or use this form to inquire about Viva Insights.

Supported browsers

For the best experience, use Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.

Apple Safari and Mozilla Firefox are not preferred browsers for the advanced insights app available with Viva Insights. Internet Explorer is no longer a supported browser.

Service availability during an outage

Microsoft provides oversight, framework, and tooling to ensure that products like Viva Insights can maintain functionality and recover from a service outage. All Microsoft 365 applications are required to have a Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery (BCDR) plan.

If there’s an outage, Viva Insights will use a failover process to switch to a backup location. This ensures customers will continue to have access to existing reports, and all organization insights features (Manager/Leader and Analyst/Advanced Insights experience) will still be available. Users, however, won't be able to create new queries and reports until the primary region is back up and running.

Service availability is consistent across environments where Viva Insights plans are generally available. For details, see Microsoft Viva Service Descriptions.
