Logging in and Setting Up an Account Through the Web

This guide will help you quickly set up a Yammer account at Stony Brook University, get started, and learn some of the basic features. If you have additional questions, contact DoIT Training at (631) 632-9800 or doit_training@stonybrook.edu.

1. Logging in to Yammer at Stony Brook

Whether you are a new user or already have a Yammer at Stony Brook account, to log in, visit http://yammer.stonybrook.edu. Beneath the welcome message, click the Log In button. This button points to the direct Yammer login URL which is http://yammer.com/stonybrook.edu

2. Web Access

After clicking the login button, you will be redirected to Stony Brook’s NetID Single Sign On page.

Enter your NetID and NetID password and click the red Login button.

Everyone will be asked to accept Stony Brook’s Yammer Usage Policy the first time they log in using NetID Single Sign on. You will only be asked to accept this policy one time. If you have previously set up a Yammer account, you will be directed to Yammer with no further action required. If this is your first time accessing Yammer, you will be guided through the process of setting up your Yammer profile.

You can take the time to fill out each field, or just click the Next button to proceed through each screen and advance directly into Yammer. You can always go back and edit your profile later under the More menu, which are the three dots in the top right corner of the page.

After the Welcome to the Stony Brook University Network page, you will be guided through three more screens as part of the profile setup process. Again, you can take the time to fill each one out, or just click Next and edit them later. Here are the different screens you’ll be asked to move through when setting up your profile:

Who do you work with?  This is where you can add SB co-workers to your network.

Join Relevant Groups.  See what groups already exist in Stony Brook’s Yammer network and join ones that interest you.

Add Your Profile Photo.  Upload a headshot of yourself so people can easily identify you.
