Terrific explanation!

I wanted to use Yammer for my smaller team within a large government agency. I set up a board and shared a test message but it went out to thousands of people I did not intend to include! Is it only possible to have 1 "community" in an organization?

Thanks for the detailed tutorial! I'm switching from Google and it's useful to know the backstory on Viva. This is a great explanation on how to use Engage. I want to start a community membership where we can all share. Based on the comments, it seems I can invite students who are not in MS 365, but can they also post/share as a guest?

[@your365coach]

Indeed - it’s built around something called Microsoft 365 Groups and they underpin Engage Communities and Microsoft Teams. Basically, if you invite a guest user it will be granted a custom permission named ‘Guest’ but that does allow them to both post new content and access and edit files too sadly. There’s no real work around to this in Engage Communities as it’s part of the underlying architecture 😔

If an organization in MS365 is doing business and also using existing MS tools to offer courses in its areas of expertise. Can external users (students) be added in communities?

[@your365coach]

Yes, External Users can be added into Viva Engage (AKA Yammer) Communities too, it uses the same method of SharePoint Guest Sharing, as it's built on top of Microsoft 365 Groups, so you can share them externally and invite people in. There is more information here from Microsoft on this too - learn.microsoft.com/en-us/viva/engage/work-with-external-users/collaborate-guests-external-viva-engage-community
