MS Viva Learning is available as an app within Teams. Organisations and their users can access Viva Learning's features either through a 'seeded' or 'premium' license.
Features included for all paid Teams users
This is what Microsoft refers to as the 'seeded' license, which effectively means that if you have any of the Microsoft 365 / Office 365 F1, F3, E4, A3, E5 to A5 licenses you get access to a decent amount of features, including:
- The Viva Learning app in Teams
- Access to a range of top courses from LinkedIn Learning, Microsoft Learn and Microsoft 365 Trainings
- Integration with the full LinkedIn Learning Library (a separate subscription to LinkedIn is needed)
- Interest-based personalisation
- SharePoint integration
- Search for learning content
- Share (to a Team or chat)
- Create learning tabs
- Bookmarking / My Learning
- View featured content
NOTE: Atlas customers will immediately have full support for MS Viva Learning integration with the Atlas workspace.

For customers with more advanced learning and development requirements the premium version provides access to the following advanced features (with Microsoft promising more to come):
- Admin controls for featured learning content / campaigns
- Integration with 3rd party LMS (Learning Management Systems). (Separate subscriptions for those 3rd parties will be needed.)
- Integration with 3rd party learning content providers. (Separate subscriptions for those 3rd parties will be needed.)
- Recommendations / management
