MS-900 Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services Practice Question
Which TWO Microsoft 365 apps are part of the Microsoft Viva suite?
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse the host platform (Microsoft Teams) or supporting services (SharePoint, Power BI) with the actual Viva suite components, leading them to select those as Viva apps instead of the dedicated Viva modules.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Microsoft Viva Insights
Microsoft Viva Insights is correct because it is a core component of the Microsoft Viva employee experience platform, providing personalized wellbeing, productivity, and collaboration analytics derived from Microsoft 365 data. It uses signals from emails, meetings, and chats to deliver actionable insights to individuals, managers, and leaders.

Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Microsoft Viva Insights
Why this is correct
Microsoft Viva Insights is a productivity and wellbeing app that uses Microsoft 365 data (calendar, email, chats, and meetings) to give employees personalized recommendations for focus time, meeting habits, and work-life balance. It is one of the core experiences in the Viva platform, alongside Viva Connections, Topics, Learning, and Goals. Unlike Teams or SharePoint, it is explicitly branded and sold as a Viva module and does not exist as a standalone collaboration or content service.
- ✗
Microsoft Teams
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Teams is a chat-centric collaboration workspace for meetings, calls, and file sharing, but it is not a component of Microsoft Viva. Viva apps are delivered as experiences inside Teams, which often causes confusion, yet Teams itself is a separate licensed product that serves as the host interface for Viva modules. The question asks for Viva apps, and Teams is the underlying platform rather than a Viva-specific solution.
- ✗
Microsoft SharePoint
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based document management and content collaboration platform used for intranet sites, file storage, and team sites. While Viva Connections can surface SharePoint news and resources, and Viva Insights may use SharePoint signals, SharePoint is not part of the Viva product family. It is an infrastructure component that Viva builds upon, not an employee experience app with its own Viva brand.
- ✓
Microsoft Viva Connections
Why this is correct
Microsoft Viva Connections is a personalized employee experience app that serves as a gateway to company news, resources, and task-specific tools directly from Teams or the Viva app. It aggregates content from SharePoint and other sources to create a curated, role-based dashboard, making it one of the five core Viva experiences along with Viva Insights, Topics, Learning, and Goals. This option is correct because Viva Connections is explicitly designed as part of the Viva employee experience platform, not an independent M365 service.
- ✗
Microsoft Power BI
Why it's wrong here
Microsoft Power BI is a business analytics service for creating interactive dashboards and data visualizations from multiple data sources, including potentially Viva Insights telemetry. However, Power BI is not a Viva app and is instead part of the Power Platform; it can be used to extend or report on Viva data but does not constitute an employee experience feature. Since the question specifically asks which apps are part of Microsoft Viva, Power BI must be excluded because it is a standalone analytics tool and not a branded Viva module.
