Log In

Click the App Launcher icon in the upper left (it is made up of nine squares), select All apps, then Yammer. You may be asked to complete a profile or enter the email address of people to invite. These are both optional.

Navigating groups

Discussion in Yammer is frequently group-centered. Once you have signed into Yammer for the first time, you can see a list of groups you can view or join in the Cornell network.

If you join a group, from then on it will be displayed in list on the left side of the window when you are using Yammer. When there is new activity in a group, an indicator will let you know.
