In this world of remote everything, our customers are discovering new ways to work and connect online, and to share meaningful moments with their coworkers and communities. Today, we are rolling out a new way to stay connected with your Yammer communities from your mobile device that is easy and fun. New mobile video sharing helps you instantly capture, edit, apply filters, and publish right from Yammer for iOS and Android. Check out the video below for more details.
