Yammer Connector: Support for private groups

We have large private groups that we want to connect to Teams, but can't because the connector options we need are limited to public groups.

    Has this simple Flow app to cross post private Yammer group posts been published for the rest of us to copy?

    You can use flow to build a connection that posts from a private yammer group to a specific channel in a team. complete work around for the design limitation of the oob connector. took me about 60 seconds and works for me like a charm.

    ou can actually just create a flow in around a minute from a private group in yammer to post in a specific channel within teams. That's how i get around the public\private connector design.

    having a connection between YAMMER and private Groups in TEAMS is definitely an urgent Business Need!

    Private group connection makes more sense than public for most larger company’s I feel. Most content is not for public consumption. Please make this so Microsoft

    Yes, please... In Our concept phase for adopting teams we do not wish to test with public Yammer channels.

    Totally agree - looking to overcome objections to rollout a more widespread (and structured) uptake of Teams within the organisation, and having this would remove the objection of which App to use. Come on MS - you know it makes sense ;)

    I can see this would cause problems with information governance if used improperly (or more accurately Inconsiderately).

    That said, a good policy approach to how yammer is used would potentially remove IG blockers.

    This feature is absolutely essential to me whilst we have teams locked down and private in our corporate system.

    We definitely need tnis feature. Connecting Private Yammer Groups would make sense in most cases within big corporate

    Is there any update from Microsoft on this topic. It's a big miss to not allow private Yammer groups/feeds into teams via the connector.
    Should not be too big of a problem an lot of people asking for this feature...
