About SharePoint Social Sections

A social section is a pre-built block that adds a social layer to a SharePoint intranet: your company's social media feeds and links to its social channels, shown alongside intranet news. SharePoint's Viva Engage web parts bring in internal conversations, but there's no designed block for showing your company's public channels on the intranet. ShortPoint social sections let you add a social media feed to SharePoint without custom development, styled to your brand with Theme Builder. Compare every design in the carousel, from an image banner with stat tiles to blocks that pair embedded feeds with company news, and preview each one live.

Frequently Asked Questions

A social intranet adds two-way community features (feeds, shout-outs, comments, and recognition) to the traditional top-down intranet, so employees contribute as well as read. On SharePoint, social sections bring that community content onto the pages people already visit.

To add a social media feed to SharePoint, insert a ShortPoint social section and connect it to your company's LinkedIn, X, or other social feed, or to a SharePoint list of posts. The feed then appears on your page in a branded layout.

No, employees can't post or react directly in the section. Social sections display and link to content, while posting and reactions happen in the connected platform, such as Viva Engage or your company's social network, so people can click through to join the conversation.

Yes, social sections work with both Microsoft 365 and on-premises SharePoint. That includes SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365, as well as SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, 2019, 2016, and 2013.

You can style how the feed is presented and the elements around it. Theme Builder controls the colors, typography, and layout of the surrounding elements, so the section matches your intranet.

Yes, every social section is mobile-friendly. Feeds and cards adapt cleanly on phones and tablets, so people can keep up with company updates on any device.
