Use reactions in Viva Engage
Applies To
Reactions enable you to express a range of emotions in Viva Engage. At the same time, they can give you nuanced insights into how your colleagues feel about the content you post. Reactions help leaders and community managers identify what type of content generates deeper levels of interest within your organization.
Tip: To choose a skin tone preference for the hand reactions (Like, Thank, Agree, Praise, and Taking notes), see Use diverse skin tones for Viva Engage reactions.
