Welcome back to your journey with Viva

00:00:04

Connections and to the 4th step which

00:00:07

is how to deploy your Viva connections.

00:00:09

This tab will show you how to deploy

00:00:13

Viva connections to have it in teams.

00:00:15

To do so, it will be necessary to activate

00:00:17

it through the admin profile of teams and

00:00:20

upon activation you will have the option

00:00:22

to customize the app and once you have

00:00:24

done it you will be able to deploy it.

00:00:28

So the question is how to

00:00:30

activate this app so we will go.

00:00:33

To your office com.

00:00:35

Click on admin.

00:00:36

You will have a screen like this.

00:00:38

You can click on teams and through the

00:00:42

Microsoft Teams Admin Center you'll be able

00:00:44

to access your teams apps and manage them.

00:00:48

So we go here.

00:00:50

Here.

00:00:53

And then we can search by name.

00:00:55

However, as you saw it already in my teams.

00:00:59

We have already done it,

00:01:00

so I'm going to use Viva goals as an example,

00:01:03

but the principle is the same,

00:01:05

so we tap by name, we click on it.

00:01:09

And as we can see it is allowed.

00:01:12

There's something extra that you may have

00:01:14

which is to customize or personalize the app.

00:01:17

This option will be here.

00:01:19

I do not have it, but in terms of

00:01:23

personalization or customization,

00:01:24

you can give it a name or you

00:01:26

can give it a description.

00:01:28

Once authorized or allowed,

00:01:30

it will be important.

00:01:32

To set up the policy option here.

00:01:36

So you can have access

00:01:38

to the global strategy.

00:01:40

At your organization level.

00:01:42

And then you will be able to

00:01:45

add the app to install.

00:01:47

We will do the same.

00:01:49

We will look by name and tap Viva goals.

00:01:54

And I can add it.

00:01:56

But the idea is to show you Eva

00:01:58

connections which we have here.

00:02:02

And we have it. On #1, because

00:02:06

remember that it is here at the top.

00:02:11

Once you have moved down, move up or add it.

00:02:16

Via connections or any other app?

00:02:19
