Yammer is Microsoft’s enterprise social network and part of Microsoft’s Office 365 toolkit. Similar to Facebook or LinkedIn in its interface and functionality, it helps Northeastern community members connect and engage with each other by sharing information and socializing virtually.

Yammer enables both open and private interaction and information sharing while also housing specific interest communities and focused conversations across multiple members of the organization. Among other things, Yammer’s functionality includes updates on what others are working on, asking questions, sharing ideas, receiving feedback, creating and editing content, and planning events.

Northeastern offers Microsoft Teams and Yammer as collaboration tools. Teams is ideal for interactions between close-knit teams and groups who are working closely and collaboratively on projects and activities. Yammer is ideal for more social interactions and larger more public group conversations and activities. Below is an overview of when it is best to use Yammer vs. Teams.
Yammer is better suited for open groups and communities to collaborate and interact socially.
An example for students: a group created for a club. In Yammer, community members will receive updates about social events occurring, have a chance to see who is in the club, and discuss common interests.
An example for faculty/staff: a group created to share Canvas tips and tricks. In Yammer, community members can post about new features they learned about, expand ideas in the reply section, and create a poll on favorite methods.
Teams is better suited for groups of people who work closely together.
Members need to communicate, store and organize files, chat, and meet.
An example for students: a group created for executive board members of a club. In Teams, members can collaborate on files, discuss upcoming events for the club, and set up weekly meetings. 
An example for faculty/staff: a group created for academic advisors. In Teams, members can schedule all-staff meetings, post important department updates, discuss their work, and share files.

Once you log in at yammer.com/northeastern.edu, you should first see that you are a member of the “All company” community feed, which consists of all individuals at Northeastern who have joined Yammer. Note, if you post a message to the “All company” community or feed, all individuals at Northeastern who have joined Yammer, will see your post. You can join other communities by navigating to “Discover Communities”.

Communities are either public or private. Both public and private communities are listed in the “Discover Communities” area of Yammer (the community name, cover photo, avatar, and description of both public and private communities are visible to everyone who uses Yammer at Northeastern).

For public communities, anyone at Northeastern can see all community posts and other content, view community membership, and interact in the community. Anyone at Northeastern can also self-join a public community by selecting “join.”

For private communities, clicking “join” will send a request to the community owner(s), and only individuals who have been added/invited to a community by the community owner(s), can join, see community posts and other content, and interact in the community.

When creating a community, you have the ability to name the community, customize certain elements like the cover photo, select individuals to include/invite in the community, and choose to make the community public or private.
