Microsoft Viva Engage (formerly Yammer) allows everyone at Cornell to communicate and connect through communities and conversations. Join discussions, @mention other Cornellians, and talk across the university.

Teams and Viva Engage

Microsoft Teams and Viva Engage are complementary and address different needs.

• Teams helps defined groups work together toward shared goals and projects.
• Viva Engage is an environment for community building, leadership engagement, knowledge sharing, and self-expression.

Viva Engage is integrated into Teams as an app, putting task-based and community conversation in one place. Install Viva Engage in Teams.
