With so much excitement surrounding Microsoft Teams, it’s easy to forget just how valuable Yammer continues to be for people in the Microsoft ecosystem. In the last year, Yammer has been a valuable resource for hosting live events and ensuring collaboration with both internal and external parties in a business. Recently, Microsoft announced 2 significant updates to Yammer for users.
The first update, Yammer Live Insights, offers a way for businesses to track important information about the growing number of events hosted on the Yammer Live Event platform. The other major update is Yammer Guest Access, which supports companies in securely and effectively engaging with third-party vendors, partners, and customers in the digital world.
Yammer Live Event Insights
Yammer Live Events Insights offers companies the information they need to measure engagement and reach when building powerful online events. Event organizers will have access to the Insights dashboard before, during, and after the experience. This ensures they can watch vital stats, such as the number of attendees, conversations, and total views.
With Yammer Live Insights, you can see how many people were present in the event, as well as which segments experienced the best viewership, and how long people spent watching the session. This content is all available in a visual format, so you can make better decisions in the future. Microsoft will even help you to recognise trends in things like the volume of conversations, questions, and reactions generated during the event.
This will be a powerful source of information for companies investing more time into online events, webinars, streaming sessions, and more. The visual data is also excellent for sharing reports with stakeholders and other members of the business community.
Guest Access In Yammer
Companies are increasingly discovering the value of being able to collaborate and communicate with internal and external contacts on the same platform. In December, Microsoft announced its preview for Azure AD b2b guest support in Yammer. Now, the functionality is generally available.
