Office 365 Update: Yammer Group Types

To pave the way for O365 groups integration, Yammer will be changing its group types to align with O365 group concepts. These changes will include the following:

  • Public Groups – the option for closed membership will no longer be available
  • Private Groups (Listed) – only the admin of the Yammer group can grant approvals to new members
  • Private Groups (Unlisted) – only the admin of the Yammer group can grant approvals to new members

How does this affect me?

Once this is available in your network, you can create an Office 365 Group that uses either Outlook email or Yammer to communicate and share information.
