Short version:
New personal insights to help you balance productivity and wellbeing are coming to the Insights app in Teams. You will be able to tap into breathing breaks, send praise to collaborators, pause and reflect anytime during the workday, as well as mindfully close out the workday with a virtual commute.
Details:
The Viva Insights app in Teams will introduce a new Home page that provides time-relevant suggestions and access to new wellbeing focused experiences, such as:
- Virtual commute: you can schedule a virtual commute to help you wrap up their tasks from today, prepare for tomorrow’s activities, and mindfully disconnect from work
- Praise: you can schedule reminders to send praise to your top collaborators and build a habit of sharing gratitude
- Reflect: schedule reminders to check in with yourself emotionally and save and reference your personal reflection history.
More updates are coming later this year, including guided meditations from Headspace that will be integrated into the virtual commute as well as the Home tab to help you mindfully disconnect from work in the evening, relax your mind before a big meeting, or find focus before starting an important project.

All data is stored inside your mailbox and the app is subject to the same GDPR compliance terms as Office 365. Learn more about Insights app in Teams and how Microsoft protects your privacy.
