Limited functionality in Yammer in Internet Explorer 10 document mode

If you are using an older SharePoint site with an embedded Yammer conversation, as of March 5, 2018, some functionality will no longer be available.

  • You can't use @mention to make sure a specific person gets notified about your post. Instead, click Add people to notify.

    Click to notify people about your post.

  • When you copy and paste a link in your post, a preview for the link won't be created. There is no workaround.

    The link preview will not be visible in Internet Explorer 10 document mode.

This happens when your SharePoint site is set to use Internet Explorer 10 Document mode. This setting is controlled by your SharePoint site owner.
