Can Stream use Yammer for commenting purposes?

I can see that you can comment in the stream channel but can you turn on Yammer as the commenting feature?

Corret. We added the ability to share a video from Stream in Yammer via the Share button. But we do not have the ability to use Yammer like comments along side the video.

Could you add this as an idea in the idea forum for others to vote on and comment on?

Thanks Mandy for adding the idea to the ideas forum.

If anyone else wants to vote/comment on Mandy's idea to allow Yammer in place of the comments in Stream you can do so here:

  Just to add with Yammer commenting you would be able to tag people into the conversation which doesn't appear to be available with current stream commenting. Would also make it easier to share and collaborate in a group easily.
