I had been working with sway app (in my pc) for a presentation in my school. Everything was fine, until a couple of days I can't access my sway through the app in the pc. It appears in the main screen, but when I click in the file, stays downloading. When I do this through Sway.com I have no problem. I shared the file and the people can't open.

Microsoft today provided new information about how it will be integrating Office 365 Groups into its Yammer enterprise-focused social network. The Yammer Enterprise service tier will be going away on January 1, 2017. But Yammer itself will remain available, and there are many levels of integration with the Office 365 services.

It will be possible for people to make Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents using Office Online within Yammer, and it will be easy to go from Yammer to a shared OneNote notebook or the Microsoft Planner project management tool. Team members will be able to select existing files from OneDrive and SharePoint and share them with colleagues in Yammer, too. And Yammer teams will get their own SharePoint sites, enabling them to build wikis and blogs.

Microsoft will be rolling out the integration in phases, with the first phase beginning later this year, the Yammer team said in a blog post. The first Yammer customers to get it are those whose users log in with their Office 365 identity. And Microsoft will initially be targeting organizations with a single Yammer network connected to one Office 365 tenant.

The new integrations have implications for the way Microsoft sells Yammer. Microsoft is encouraging customers to migrate to its Office 365 plans. Effectively Microsoft will stop selling Yammer as a standalone service. (A support article has more detail.)

The changes will also affect what happens with data entered in Yammer. In the next few months Yammer Notes will be migrated into Word documents and will be accessible through the Files part of Yammer. But eventually Microsoft will replace Yammer Notes with group OneNote notebooks. More generally, over time Microsoft intends to “migrate all files stored in Yammer to SharePoint,” the Yammer team wrote.

What’s more, now people using Yammer will be able to have their shared conversations either in Outlook (courtesy of Office 365 Groups) or in Yammer — one or the other, but not both.

In a blog post in June Microsoft did mention that Yammer groups would be integrating with Office 365 Groups, and now it’s becoming clear how all this will work. Microsoft said in February that it was enabling Yammer by default for eligible Office 365 commercial customers.

Microsoft first acquired Yammer for $1.2 billion in 2012. As an individual product it has competed with VMware’s Socialcast, Facebook’s Facebook at Work, and Salesforce’s Chatter, among others, as well as more modern team communication tools like Slack.

Now Yammer is being tightly woven into Office 365, following Microsoft’s introduction of Office 365 Groups two years ago.

Office Sway is a presentation program and is part of the Microsoft Office family of products.^[1] Sway was offered for general release by Microsoft in August 2015. It allows users who have a Microsoft account to combine text and media to create a presentable website. Users can pull content locally from the device in use, or from internet sources such as Bing, Facebook, OneDrive, and YouTube.^[2] An unrelated web editing program in the evolution of web designers also developed by Microsoft in the past was Microsoft FrontPage and Microsoft Expression Web. These programs, however, did not include a method for hosting websites the way that Sway does.

Sway sites are stored on Microsoft's servers and are tied to the user's Microsoft account. They can be viewed and edited from any web browser through Office for the web. There is no offline editing or viewing function. They can also be accessed using apps for Windows 10 and iOS. ^[3][4]

History[edit]

Sway was developed internally by Microsoft. In late 2014, the company announced a preview version of Sway as an invitation-only preview and announced that Sway would not require an Office 365 subscription.^[5] An iOS app was released as a preview on 31 October 2014,^[6] but was discontinued on 17 December 2018 due to low usage.^[7][8]

As of 01/31/2020, the Sway iOS app's discontinuing in 2018 was the last piece of news posted in the Sway tech blog. The Sway feature blog has not received an update since April 2017. The Microsoft Office Roadmap does not include any items related to Sway. As such, it may be concluded that, even though the application is still available for use, it is no longer under active development.

Features[edit]

Users are able to add content from various sources into their Sway presentations. Some of the integrated services are owned by Microsoft, including OneNote, Bing, and other Sway sites. The program also provides native integration with other services, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Mixcloud, and Infogram. ^[9]
