How is Microsoft Viva Connections different from a SharePoint home site app in Teams?

Viva Connections builds on the framework of the SharePoint home sites app in Teams. It is a more comprehensive solution that offers a personalised dashboard, streamlined access to resources, and a unified experience across Teams and other Microsoft 365 services.

A SharePoint home site app in Teams, on the other hand, primarily focuses on surfacing your SharePoint intranet within the Teams interface, allowing users to access and navigate their intranet directly from Teams.
