Presentation of the WebPart

The social network wall is a communication WebPart that allows you to gather information from your social networks within your Office365 Intranets!

This component allows you to complete your communication strategy by adding external sources.

The objectives of this component are as follows:

• Gather and unify your communication: external communication is automatically integrated into your Digital Workplace. No double entry of information, the feed is organic.
• Drive engagement: Allow employees to react to your external publications, and make them your ambassadors.
• Get publications from your interests and partners. Stay connected to your partners, customers and the market.

Social networks

Here are the different social networks from which you can retrieve the publications:

• RSS feeds: You can retrieve the publications of public RSS feeds.
  Youtube: The NewsHub displays the public videos published by the Youtube channels of your choice.
• Facebook: You can display on the NewsHub the posts of the pages you are administrator of.
• Instagram: You can display on the NewsHub the posts of the Instagram Business accounts of which you are an administrator.
