Event Calendar
If you select the Compact with details layout, you have the possibility of customizing the colors of the calendar. In particolar, you can choose:

The color of the pagination and off range days (3);
The color of the current day (4);
The text color of the current day (5).
In addition, you can decide if you want the text of the current day to be in bold.
If you do not customize colors, the web part will use the colors of the intranet graphic theme.
If you select the Compact with details layout, you have the possibility of activating a scroll bar for the information box. If you enable this option, the possibility of setting the height of the info section becomes available. This means that you can set a fixed height for this section and use the scroll bar to read its content. This may be useful when you have long descriptions and you don't want this section to take up too much space.
The Compact with details layout allows you to include a picture in the event details. When creating the event, you can insert a picture by clicking on Attach File in the top bar of the Events - New Item panel. Click on Choose File to upload an image, then press OK.
FAQs
The possibility of configuring prefilters has been added. Now, the Filter settings section of the web part property pane is divided into two sub-sections:

In the first box, you need to choose the filter: select the single option, Categories.
In the second box, you need to insert the categories you want to show, divided by the | symbol.
For example: Disease|Injury
In this example, only the FAQs related to the selected topics (disease and injury) are shown in the web part:

Several web part properties have been added to make the component more versatile.

Cross-site configuration is now supported. When configuring the Filters and properties setup section, you need to enter the url of the site where the People directory list is located (usually, it is the hub site of the intranet), and then select the People directory list from the drop-down menu.
Pop-up
Thanks to a recent update, the Pop-up web part works with Viva Connections. Previously, Pop-up was visibile only if you accessed the intranet via web, and not via Teams, because the component relied on cookies (which are not available on Teams) to function properly. Now, pop-up visualizations by users are recorded by a SharePoint list called Popup users. This list should be set up so that all visitors have contribute permissions.
Videos
A new section named Playback settings has been added to the property pane of the web part. It allows you to activate the autoplay feature, which is now disabled by default.
