External Sharing in SharePoint and OneDrive is changing: What You Need to Know

In an ongoing effort to create a more secure environment by default, Microsoft is introducing an important security update that will affect how external users access content shared through SharePoint and OneDrive.

The new Yammer in Teams has landed

on
The new Yammer app has landed in Teams for most tenants. Using this app Teams allows users to easily access Yammer and it's community discussions. The new app in Teams is based upon the new Yammer look, where you get a lot of the new features announced at Ignite 2019. 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.

To access the new app, just click the app icon at the bottom of the left rail, search for "Yammer" and the application called "Communities"

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.
