Using Office 365 retention policies with Office 365 Groups
Since services like Microsoft Teams and Yammer now create Office 365 groups when provisioning does this also apply to those groups as well? Would this work towards governing the data within those services as well.

As part of the Office 365 data governance framework, tenants can now create retention policies that apply to the mailbox and team site belonging to Office 365 Groups. The process is quite straightforward, but some gotchas exist that you need to think about!

Team chats are captured in Exchange mailboxes and therefore come under the retention policies. However, the actual chats in the teams channels are not yet governed. See https://www.petri.com/teams-compliance-story
As to Yammer, none of the Office 365 data governance functionality applies to items held inside Yammer. In an Office 365-enabled Yammer group, retention can be applied to the SharePoint content but not to conversations. See https://www.petri.com/the-rebirth-of-yammer-groups
Amazing how questions are answered in articles posted and freely available... ;-)
Wondeful insight Tony and appreciate you shedding further light as this has been a big topic for me and where I work as we wait for data retention for MS Teams.
Hope to run into you at this years Ignite.. Thanks.
