Where did External Groups Go In Yammer?

Hi All,
we want to set up confidential discussion groups for sales reps for our resellers. (We are on O365)

I was thinking of using Yammers External Groups. But when I went in to create an external group the option seems to be gone.

I read a post about external groups and O365 is explicitly excluded as supported on the post.

Is there a "newer, better, way" to have confidential "forums" or "discussion" groups with other people in other companies than Yammer in O365?

And if Yammer is still the best way to do this? Anyone know where external groups went and how to create them in O365?

We are trying to use "all things MSFT" as much as possible as our clients will all be MSFT clients.

Thanks and Best Regards

Peter

Hi @Peter-Jones-BIDA,
Based on your description, your question is related to Microsoft 365 admin and Yammer, this office-itpro is related to Office for desktop, I suggest you post this issue to Microsoft 365 admin forum:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365Admin

And Yammer forum:
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_yammer

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi @emizhang-msft ,

Thank you for your correction.

Hi @emizhang-msft ,

ah...I see Q&A is different to "answers".

I am used to asking questions on MSDN so I didn't know about answers.

I thought Q&A was the new MSDN.

Thanks for the links.

I found out something new today!

Best Regards

Peter
