Go to the Yammer site in SharePoint admin center and select the sensitivity there. It's currently not supported when being created within Yammer.

ChristianJBergstrom thanks for the reply. Unfortunately that's far from scalable.
Documentation states that Yammer doesn't support sensitivity labels, but SPO does, so I would think that any SPO site would be included in the labeling policy. This seems like a bug.
- Sep 13, 2022My understanding of what they mean is that a label cannot be selected when the site is being creating from Yammer, it's simply not available as an option. The users who are assigned a sensitivity label policy (published to them) that includes a container label will be able to select it for sites and groups. So wouldn't call it a bug. You can use PowerShell if applicable. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/compliance/sensitivity-labels-teams-groups-sites?view=o365-worldwide#use-powershell-to-apply-a-sensitivity-label-to-multiple-sites

ChristianJBergstrom Maybe not a bug, but definitely a gaping hole if you're trying to "Use sensitivity labels to protect content in Microsoft Teams, Microsoft 365 groups, and SharePoint sites".
Anyway - I'm looking at possibly using a flow to close the hole that triggers on site creation.
