Microsoft has announced that Copilot will be accessible to Business-to-Business (B2B) members within Multi-Tenant Organizations (MTO). This update allows users with B2B (shadow) identities to utilize Copilot during Teams meetings, provided they have a license in their host tenant.

The new Yammer in Teams has landed

The app can be added by admins through policies, or users may add them directly themselves.

If you have not deployed Yammer to your organization, you might want to tell users not to use this app, or hide it from the store.

Users may discover that the app does not allow you to switch networks (yet), and they will have to switch to a browser version to do so.
