Embed a Yammer feed into a SharePoint site

For SharePoint Online and SharePoint Server 2013, you can easily add a Yammer feed to a SharePoint with Yammer Embed. You can add several types of feeds to a SharePoint page, including:

• Group feed    Show the latest conversations in a specific Yammer group.

• My Feed    Show each user their personal feed with items relevant to them.

• Open graph object feed    Start a discussion about an object, like a web page.

You can also add these other types of feeds: topic feed or user feed. For more information, see Yammer Embed.

The following image shows Yammer Embed in action.

For Yammer Embed to work, your SharePoint environment must satisfy the following prerequisites:

• Your organization should have an active Yammer network (for example: www.yammer.com/contoso.com)

Yammer does not have to be the social collaboration tool for SharePoint for embedding to work, but if you want to make Yammer the primary social experience for SharePoint, see Integrate Yammer with on-premises SharePoint 2013 environments.

Add a Yammer feed to a SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server 2013 page

To add a feed using Yammer Embed, you:

1. Copy and edit a simple script that identifies the type of feed you want and the Yammer network you are using.

2. Add a script editor web part to your SharePoint page and paste the script into the web part.

The following procedures describe how to add a group feed, my feed, or a page feed to a SharePoint Online or SharePoint Server 2013 page using Yammer Embed and a script editor web part. The screenshots show the SharePoint Online user interface. For information about other feed types, see Yammer Embed. You can also use the Yammer Embed configuration tool to create the script to use.
