Windows 10: Introducing Yammer Reactions

Brink · Sep 15, 2020

People come to Yammer to have meaningful conversations, to share knowledge, and to build communities. Conversations on Yammer can inform you about a colleague's personal milestone, help you seek information from a colleague who is more than one degree away in your organization and help you recognize the amazing accomplishments of your team. You may need more than a 'like' to express yourself on these conversations. That is why we are rolling out reactions for every conversation or reply in the new Yammer. You can now express yourself through gratitude and celebration, laughter, and sadness-just like in real life. This gives you more ways to respond or express your feelings in the conversations you care most about, while gaining insight about how others feel about your content and conversations.

How we decided which reactions to start with

It would've been easy for us to look across the landscape of existing reactions that you see in other apps and just copy those into Yammer. However, we wanted to take a more thoughtful approach and make sure that Yammer reactions were expressive, meaningful, constructive, and globally understood.

The first phase of developing this new feature involved conducting global research through surveys and interviews to identify the reactions that would be most helpful to our users and community managers. We also looked at feedback and top GIF usage to identify signals on how users are expressing themselves today. The next phase was to help us deliver on our goal of being universally understood. So we reached out to users to ensure our icons communicated the same sentiment to all users. Armed with this data, we finally had the reaction set for Yammer.

Different reactions to Yammer conversations

You can now âloveâ a post that deeply resonates with you, or âcelebrateâ a personal or professional milestone. With âthankâ, you can express your appreciation towards a person or a situation, helping build a sense of gratitude within your communities. âSadâ would let you express compassion in difficult times, or express sadness over a situation when words fail you. We hope these reactions add a little bit of delight, and help you feel more connected to your Yammer communities. We will continue to listen and learn from your feedback so you can be your most expressive self on Yammer.

General availability starts now!

Reactions are starting to roll out today, and will be available to all users globally in the next couple of weeks. To add a reaction, hover on the like button on web or hold down the like button on mobile, to see the reaction options of like, love, laugh, celebrate, thank and sad show up. Then tap or click on one of these to select them. Learn more at our support page.

Whatâs next?

Yammer is inclusive by design, with communities and conversations at the center. And we continue to think about inclusive features as we build new features. Soon we will be introducing diverse skin tones on reactions to help every reaction feel sense of representation while interacting on Yammer.

Embeded script on sharepoint webpart for use yammer

Hi,

I just found another article that provides a workaround on this issue. Basically it uses the Enterprise site mode list manager to force enable IE 11 as X-UA-compatible HTTP header:

Yammer no longer supports IE10 warning message

"Where Enterprise site mode lists are implemented x-ua meta tags in web pages are ignored and the Emulation mode specified in the Enterprise Mode Site Lists manager is used."
