ROLLING OUT: SharePoint Online team sites + Office 365 Groups & Pages
I've been testing the new modern pages and I'm very excited for the potential. However I'm disappointed that the amount of web parts in the toolbox is very limited at this time. When this was demoed during the Future of SharePoint event, https://youtu.be/0NyxhMlIGeA?t=3454 , many awesome web parts where in the toolbox, but I don't have access to very many of those web parts now.
Also in the https://blogs.office.com/2016/08/31/new-capabilities-in-sharepoint-online-team-sites-including-integration-with-office-365-groups/, it appeared I was going to be able to embed a Yammer group on my modern page easily, but I'm not seeing that option.
How soon will the web part toolbox gain more web part choices?
Below is an example of the web part choices I see in the toolbox.
EricDavisTech - We turned on the flight to add the Yammer web part to modern pages. It will be rolling out over the next few days.

Yammer web parts in modern pages sounds great! Are there any documentation available on this?

We'll have help pages up soon, but hopefully for this webpart you won't need them.
We leverage the yammer embed API. You'll copy and paste in the URL of the yammer feed you want embedded (we support a few different types - home, topic, person, etc.)
The webpart will validate the feed & type and put it on the page.
The only other parameter you set is how large (vertically) you want the embed to be.
It's rolling out now, so let me know if you have any questions when you see it.
