Yammer is a social networking tool where members of the University can discuss ideas, share updates, and crowdsource answers from coworkers.
Yammer lets you easily create groups, or communities of practice, where people can discuss a particular topic and connect to and follow colleagues. It tends to be used fairly informally, for quite large groups, and people may not read Yammer posts every day.
If you have a smaller group and need additional features, such as easy access to online meetings, sharing other apps, such as Planner, etc you may want to use Microsoft Teams instead.
Yammer is available to all University staff and students
You can access Yammer from the Office 365 portal https://office365.leeds.ac.uk
Microsoft Yammer training is available via LinkedIn Learning and is free for all staff and students.
For further information on Yammer and for support see the Microsoft Website.
