Updated September 21, 2022: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.

Microsoft Viva Insights is introducing new recurring time booking options to make it easier to take regular breaks during the workday, protect time to meet weekly learning objectives, and have daily time to catch up on emails and chats. These booking options will be accessible to the user through the Briefing email sent at the end of the week as well as through the Viva Insights app in Teams.

The feature is only available to those with a Microsoft Viva Insights subscription.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 93424.

Users with a Viva Insights subscription will see invitations to enroll into plans to automatically book recurring time for learning, breaks, and message catch up in briefing email and Viva Insights app in Teams.
