Viva Engage: Mute a conversation from Teams for iOS

Introduction To help corporate communicators and network admins manage content visibility, Viva Engage now allows conversations to be muted directly from the Viva Engage app in Teams for iOS and Android. Muting a conversation removes the thread from appearing in the home feed and email digests, helping reduce undesired clutter and streamline communication.
