Conversations: connect with others

Yammer is built around open communication—when people work in the open, everyone benefits from and can contribute to information sharing.

Post a message

Use the publisher to share updates, add files, post polls, praise someone, or loop someone into conversations by @mentioning their name.

 

Global communication

Select from 28 languages (including right to left message composition and readability) to seamlessly communicate with your coworkers around the world.

See who’s online now

See who’s online and instantly start a private discussion with one or more coworkers. The people with whom you interact the most are automatically sorted in the contact list.

 

Message translation

Remove language as a barrier with message translation. Instantly translate conversations into your native language with Microsoft Translator.

Private messages

Start a private dialogue with one or more coworkers. You can add more participants at any time.
 

External messaging

Bring your partners, vendors, and customers into the discussion. Add their email addresses to conversations and private messages within your Yammer network to get their feedback.

Share Microsoft Office documents, PDFs, images, and videos across teams and get feedback right away. Upload new versions to ensure everyone sees the latest drafts.
 

See recent changes

At a glance, view all the edits made to a document by each collaborator in the Recent Changes pane. Revert to a previous version at any time.

Make notes in real time

Draft content and coauthor wikis with your team while seeing character-by-character changes in real time.
 

Official content

Mark files and notes as official and read-only. Official content appears higher in inbox search results and content directories for easy access.



Social graph: discover what you need

Teams make better decisions when they have greater visibility. Yammer lets you discover things you wouldn’t have found otherwise: the right people, documents, and conversations you need to get your best work done.

Contextual discovery

Contextual discovery automatically surfaces relevant conversations and work of others at the company, providing greater visibility that enables you to make better decisions.

Find the right people within your groups

Because groups are public by default, you can tap into the expertise of others by viewing the conversations and work of others at the company who share common objectives.

Search

The advanced search algorithm of Yammer helps you find the most relevant conversations, groups, files, and people across the company to help reduce duplicate work.

Profiles

Share your knowledge when you upload a picture, fill in contact details, and list your expertise. Profiles aggregate all your information, including conversations and files.

Intelligent feed

Stay on top of relevant conversations, files, and projects happening across the company. Feeds let you quickly engage in the work and conversations around you.
