As a follow-up to our initial announcement on the retirement of the Viva Connections Feed Web Part and Video News Link, we wanted to remind you of the upcoming changes and the actions you need to take.

Progress Update

On September 1, 2024, we successfully removed the Feed for Viva Connections web part from the toolbox and the Video news link from the + New menu in the organizational site. This was the first phase of our plan to streamline and enhance the user experience across our applications.

What’s Next?

We are now approaching the second phase of this retirement plan. Starting November 5, 2024, we will end support for both the Feed for Viva Connections web part and the Video news link. This means that any instances of these features that have not been replaced with the recommended alternative solutions will no longer display content and will result in an empty web part or an error message.

Action Required

If you have not yet taken action, we strongly encourage you to do so before November 5, 2024. Site editors should update the affected sites with the recommended alternative solutions, such as the News, Viva Engage, File and Media, and Highlighted content web parts, as well as video pages.
