Microsoft Viva Topics explainer

This brand film introduces Microsoft Viva Topics as part of the Microsoft Viva employee experience platform—turning scattered knowledge into something employees can actually find in the flow of work. It shows Viva Topics in Microsoft Teams, where hovering over a term reveals a topic card with an instant summary, key documents, and top subject matter experts, then opens a full topic page with definitions, related topics, curated discussions and communities. It also covers admin curation (alternate names, recommended experts/content), engagement insights (most/least engagement), Q&A that saves expert responses as reusable institutional knowledge, the Topics app and Topic Center (including suggested learning), and content connectors (130+ plus APIs) to pull in sources like ServiceNow—while inheriting Microsoft Graph security and permissions. It notes planned expansion beyond Teams into Outlook and SharePoint, and availability as an add-on to Microsoft 365 plans.

We produced this as a complete, end-to-end brand film: shaping the narrative in preproduction so the message stays crisp, mapping visuals so every feature has a clear “why,” then delivering a polished finish in post. We start with a line cut to prove the story works, then refine pacing, color, and sound design until it feels confident and modern. Finally, we ship the whole launch bundle—closed captions, audio description, and thumbnails—so the video is ready to publish everywhere without last-minute pixel negotiations.
