Updated March 7, 2023: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Today we are announcing our intention to rebrand Yammer into Viva Engage in order to provide a consistent and delightful experience to our customers. This change will happen across all existing Yammer surfaces-- including web, mobile, and integrations (Embed, SharePoint and Outlook) and will occur throughout 2023. In the coming months you can expect Yammer to become Viva Engage through the update of brand elements like logo, app icon and name.
[When this will happen:]
The first stage of this rebrand happened last year with the rebranding of the Yammer Communities app for Teams into Viva Engage. The rest of rebrand will occur incrementally, starting with the mobile apps (iOS & Android) and the Communities app for Outlook updating their app icons and name in March 2023. We will communicate other endpoints like the web and embed experiences as we make progress. We will continue sending message center alerts and provide details and resources to help your organization understand, prepare, and communicate these changes.
In late February, as we prepare for the Yammer mobile app changes, we will add an in-app banner with relevant information around the switch. At the same time, the app name in the Google Play and App Store will be updated to “Yammer (Viva Engage)” and there will be no change to the installed app name or icon.
Starting April 3rd (previously mid-to-late March), the installed apps will update to the “Viva Engage” name and icon, updates may be automatic depending on your settings."
The app name in the Google Play and App Store will be updated to “Viva Engage (Yammer)” and the icon will be updated to the Viva Engage icon. Search by “Yammer” will continue to display the app as the top result.
Notifications will be updated to the Viva Engage name and icon, a reference to Yammer will remain until later this year.
All Yammer references in the app will be updated to Viva Engage, and there will be a pop up informing the change as well as a banner directing users to the public blog post about the rebrand with more information around what’s changing and the timeline.
