Viva Connections: Default experience for Home site customers

If you're a Microsoft 365 Home site customer, a new feature is coming your way! Soon, your Home site will be automatically set as the default experience for the Viva Connections app in Microsoft Teams, making it even more convenient for end-users to access the Homesite. It's important to note that this change will only apply to customers who have not set up a Viva Connections experience in their tenants, and customers who have already set up a Viva Connections experience will not be affected.

The rollout is set to begin in mid-January 2025 and is expected to be completed by late February 2025. This change will be on by default, but if you want to turn it off, you can use Microsoft PowerShell with Set-SPOHomeSite or disable the Viva Connections app from the Teams admin center.

Whether you're okay with this change or want to disable it, there is no additional admin action required before the automatic rollout. However, it's recommended to create awareness about this feature with end-users by sharing the link to the Viva Connections app in Teams or configuring and pinning Viva Connections in Teams.
