Embedding a Yammer conversation into a SharePoint page
MicrosoftThanks for the feedback darrellaas. I'd love to know how important you view this feature comparative to other similar concepts (say showing group conversations as an example).
Our initial implementation mirrored yammer's embed widget support as a starting MVP (see: https://www.yammer.com/widget/configure); it's limited to groups, topics, home, users.
Always love to hear your scenarios with relative priorities... it's helps us prioritize.
Thanks,
John
Hi John_Sanders. I think it's great that someone can easily embed a Yammer group by pasting a URL.
My scenario is to quickly and easily provide a conversation area for a SharePoint News page. This helps drive interaction and feedback about the news being shared, across the company. Ideally, you would be able to choose Yammer as the comments platform, associate it with a Yammer group and it auto-creates the conversation thread when you create a new News page. And when people come across the Yammer post on it's own, there's a link back to the full news article too.
I realise some of these things can be achieved with coding or a series of manual steps. But it needs to be easy for end users.
- Agree with Darrel, the more configurations and options available to integrate Yammer on a modern web page, the more useful is going to be this webpart
