Hi All,

I am using an Exchange 2016 hybrid environment where we create users on-premises and then migrate them online. We have Microsoft 365 E5 licenses, and the same users are assigned Microsoft 365 Copilot and Microsoft Viva Insights licenses. I don’t have any experience with Viva Engage, but one of my users wants to use it in Teams. Is Viva Engage included with these licenses? I am not sure, and I’d like to know if it needs to be enabled separately. Please guide me.

    Hi @Glenn Maxwell

    When you assign user licenses as part of a bundled Microsoft 365 subscription plan, such as Microsoft 365 Enterprise, the Viva Engage Core license is automatically assigned to the user. You can remove or assign Viva Engage Core licenses for specific users in the Microsoft 365 admin center or by using Windows PowerShell cmdlets for Microsoft 365.

    That is, when you assign an M365 E5 license to a user, the user will automatically get a Viva Engage license. This way, the user can access Viva Engage in Teams.
