About Yammer
Yammer is a social-networking platform designed for communication and collaboration within organizations. Yammer is part of the Microsoft 365 enterprise suite.
If your organization uses Yammer for internal communication and you want to embed it in your Event App, you can! Attendees can log in to their Yammer account and communicate without leaving the Event App.
Yammer Resources
Yammer's help center is the best resource for all your questions when setting up a Yammer space. The Yammer Support Options page is a great starting point for beginners. It includes links to basic articles and details on how to get support.
Create your Embed Link
First, copy this URL and paste it into a text editor:
https://web.yammer.com/embed/groups/
Now, log in to your Yammer account and go to the Feed you want to embed in your Webex Event App. In your browser's address bar, copy the unique identifier from within the URL. The unique identifier is usually a set of letters and numbers. In the following example, it comes after /groups/.
https://web.yammer.com/main/org/orgname.com/groups/eyJfdHlwZSI6Ikdyb3VwIiwiaWQiOiIwIn0/all
Paste the unique identifier at the end of the URL you copied in the first step. In our example, the resulting URL is:
https://web.yammer.com/embed/groups/eyJfdHlwZSI6Ikdyb3VwIiwiaWQiOiIwIn0
Modify the link
Add header, footer, and theme customizations to the URL if necessary. Simply add a question mark at the very end, then add the parameters. Separate multiple parameters with an ampersand (&). For an explanation of each parameter, refer to Yammer's article.
header=true/false
footer=true/false
theme=dark/light
If you add every parameter, your URL will be like this:
https://web.yammer.com/embed/groups/eyJfdHlwZSI6Ikdyb3VwIiwiaWQiOiIwIn0?header=false&footer=false&theme=dark
Copy the URL when you're done customizing it. Now you're ready to embed the Feed in your Event App.
Embed Yammer in Webex Events
Add a Yammer feature
Use the Web Link feature if you want a dedicated tab in your Event App where folks can interact with the feed.
Simply add the feature to your Event App, edit it, and enter the URL that you copied in the previous step. Make sure you uncheck the 'Open link in external browser' box so the Yammer Feed will embed in your Event App's web version. You don't need to use the 'Pass Data to URL' checkbox. Click Save Changes.
💡 Keep in mind, to change the feature name and icon to better reflect your Yammer feed, click the Settings (⚙️) icon make these customizations.
Attendees using the web version can interact with your embedded Feed without leaving the Event App.
Mobile App users can click the feature to launch the Feed in their device's default browser.
Embed with a Custom Tab
If you want to let attendees interact with the Yammer Feed during live streams, add it to a Live Stream feature or an Agenda session. For more information on using a Custom Tab in a Live Stream feature, refer to our Live Stream feature guide. For information about using a Custom Tab in a Session, refer to our Agenda feature guide.
For attendees using the web version, the Yammer Feed appears in a tab to the right of the live stream panel, so they can interact without leaving the live stream or opening a new browser tab.
Mobile App users can tap the custom tab to launch the Feed in their device's default browser.
Now you know all about using Yammer in your event!
