MicrosoftHi Samantha. The current timeline is outlined in our recent blog about our new capabilities and rebrand: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/yammer-blog/yammer-is-evolving-to-viva-engage/ba-p/3738825
- Hi James, I was looking for exact dates to help with our comms plan. Will the change just happen or can we control when it is applied?
- evelynchanHi Samantha, regarding mobile, a banner at the top of the Home Feed will start rolling out during the last week of February, so a majority of users should see it by the end of that week. We are actively getting more visuals and details out about the exact changes user will see through the rebrand, that will be shared later this week. Users will still see the same features and functionality, just under a new app name - this update will happen automatically in mid to late-March on mobile. These changes cannot be controlled by admins. We will preserve the ability to search for "Yammer" in both the app store and on your device to get to the Viva Engage app. To make for a smoother transition, we will also carry forward a reference in push notifications and in the app stores to Yammer until the rebrand is complete. Message Center post MC514981 will give more details around the Yammer mobile app and Communities app in Outlook experiences rebranding. As for web, you can expect more detailed information to be communicated at a later date, for now I'll refer back to the blog post James shared there, with Summer 2023 being when the web experience will rebrand.
