Yammer is evolving to Microsoft Viva Engage.

Connect and engage across your organization.

Viva Engage brings people together across the organization to connect with leaders, coworkers and communities; crowdsource answers and ideas; share their work and experience; and find belonging at work.

Viva Engage is an evolution of the Yammer Communities app that brings new capabilities and experiences to help people strengthen their work relationships, find and share knowledge, and feel included all within Microsoft Teams.

Snippet from Wikipedia: Viva Engage

Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) is an enterprise social networking service that is part of the Microsoft 365 family of products. It is used mainly for private communication within organizations but is also used for networks spanning various organizations. Access to a Yammer network is determined by a user's Internet domain, so only individuals with approved email addresses may join their respective networks.

The service began as an internal communication system for the genealogy website Geni.com and was launched as an independent product in 2008. Microsoft later acquired Yammer in 2012 for US$1.2 billion (~$1.57 billion in 2023). Currently, Yammer is included in all enterprise plans of Microsoft 365, and evolved into Viva Engage as of February 2023. Viva was re-launched as an "employee experience platform" and to make it more community- friendly.
