Microsoft Viva Connections: Update to app name

Updated February 5, 2025: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

We are renaming the Viva Connections app to Connections. This change is intended to ensure the app name fits better within Microsoft Teams, preventing it from being truncated.

When this will happen:

General Availability (Worldwide, GCC, GCC High, DoD): We will begin rolling out early February 2025 (previously late January) and expect to complete by late February 2025 (previously mid-February).

How this will affect your organization:

If you have already customized the Viva Connections app name in the Microsoft Teams app store, your customizations will remain unchanged.

This update is available by default.

What you need to do to prepare:

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.
