Brink · Jul 23, 2020

Yammer connects and engages employees across the organization. Last November, we announced an entirely new Yammer experience, delivering new capabilities and integrations that power leadership engagement, corporate communications, and knowledge sharing across Microsoft 365. Today, weâre thrilled to announce that the new Yammer is now generally available for all customers. Weâre also excited to unveil several additional features to help your organizations get more out of Yammer and collaborate across companies.

This can be helpful to draw attention to unanswered questions and also to enable additional functionality like âMark best answerâ.

Yammer mobile superpowers
Modern organizations require mobile solutions that help connect employees and move work forward â wherever that work is happening. The new Yammer is available on iOS and Android, with some added improvements, including:

Dark Mode is now available for Yammer mobile. Whether you prefer light or dark, now you can pick your favorite theme on either iOS or Android.

New mobile video sharing that helps you instantly capture, edit, apply filters, and publish compelling videos up to 3 minutes long right from mobile.

Microsoft Teams

The new Communities app for Teams for the desktop and Teams Mobile are now generally available, helping everyone, including Firstline Workers and deskless employees stay connected, receive important updates and alerts, attend live events, and share feedback and ideas across teams and locations.

Interactive conversations in Outlook

You can now engage with Yammer conversations directly from your Outlook inbox. See the full Yammer conversation, like, and reply directly from the email notification without having to switch applications or open a browser.

Updated Yammer Conversations web part for SharePoint

A new Yammer web part is now available for SharePoint Online. With this update, your existing Yammer web part will automatically inherit the new Yammer styling and bring added features to your SharePoint sites and pages. Learn more.

Security and compliance

Weâve also added additional admin controls like Native Mode to help organizations better manage their data, privacy, security, and compliance needs. Learn more about Native Mode and how to prepare your Yammer Network for benefits like eDiscovery, local data residency and SharePoint file storage here.

Coming next

Featured Conversations â Yammer administrators can boost the visibility of critical messages in the Home feed by featuring the conversation to drive engagement.

External guests in Yammer communities â add people from outside your organization to your Yammer communities using Azure B2B, which ensures admins can manage user data, privacy, and compliance. This change will also enable communities with external guests to host live events, create custom policies for file storage and community creation, support local data residency and more.

Bring the new Yammer to your organization

Microsoft 365 Global Admins and verified Yammer Network Admins can configure access to the new Yammer through the Yammer admin portal. Admins can enable the toggle in the suite header and choose the default experience for their network: classic Yammer or the new Yammer. Learn more about enabling the new Yammer for your organization and see our detailed Frequently Asked Questions.

After an admin has enabled the new Yammer, users will access the new Yammer or switch back to classic using the toggle in the navigation bar.

Then people in your organization can use the toggle to switch between the new experience, and the classic experience in their home (canonical) networks. You will still see the classic Yammer experience in external networks.

Announcing a new Yammer 'Ask Microsoft Anything' (AMA)

Bring all your questions and feedback about the new Yammer to this 'Ask Microsoft Anything' (AMA) on Thursday, July 23, 2020, 9:00-10:00 AM PT. Members of the Yammer team will be online during this one-hour event to respond directly to your posts in the Yammer AMA discussion space.

Check out these resources to help your organization get started and go deeper on whatâs new and whatâs possible with the new Yammer. Weâre continuing to develop and release features as we optimize Yammer for communities, engagement, and knowledge sharing across Microsoft 365. Weâll have more to announce and show at Microsoft Ignite. In the meantime, follow our blog and catch us on Twitter. Stay tuned!
