This video is a developer-focused tour of Viva Connections extensibility—how you bring intranet experiences and partner apps directly into Microsoft Teams. It explains the desktop experience as modern SharePoint pages, then walks through three main extension approaches: custom web parts (HTML widgets editors place on pages), application customizers (admin-enabled injections into page placeholders like header/footer—also useful for things like analytics), and adaptive card extensions (JSON-driven Adaptive Cards on the Viva Connections dashboard that work across desktop and mobile). It highlights interactive patterns like buttons and quick views, and notes that these experiences can pull data and take action using Microsoft Graph APIs or Azure-hosted external APIs, with a pointer to aka.ms/Viva/Connections/extensibility.
We produced this as a developer-friendly explainer that stays practical and scannable: tight scripting to define each extensibility option in plain English, clean screen capture to keep the concepts grounded, and a voiceover pace that lets the “what” and the “when to use it” land without a pile-up. The result is a crisp, shareable walkthrough that helps technical audiences understand their build paths fast—then get back to shipping shiny things. Final delivery includes closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails.
The inevitable sequels
Hollywood keeps stretching good ideas into progressively worse sequels. We don’t. These are the related videos—spiritual siblings of the one you just watched—as good or better than this video. Expect callbacks, new plot twists, and maybe even a scene-stealing cameo from a lower third.
