How do I stop receiving emails for announcements in groups?

I do not have email subscriptions turned on for this group, but I keep getting emails whenever someone posts an announcement in it. I have emails turned on when I receive Yammer messages and somehow these announcements end up in my Yammer messages, but it's a post on the group page. Where is the toggle to control this?

    Hi Mahesh,

    I know where the notification settings can be changed, that's how I was able to state several of my current email notification settings. There is no setting for Announcements in other groups. How do I turn that off?

    I see you are MSFT. Is this a customer question? Or are you facing this issue as a MS Employee on Microsoft's Yammer Network?

    In the course of my work -

    There are admins who insist for features that will push notifications to the users, regardless if they want it or not, and to prevent them from turning off that notification.

    Then there are users who insist they want push notifications disabled, regardless if they are regarded by the sender as important or not.

    Life is hard.

    Here's my view -

    "Announcements" in Yammer is an Admin feature. Announcements cannot be made by a regular user. If there is a overzealous admin, then this admin needs to be talked to, to achieve a balance between communicating too much or too little. If this is regarding MS internal Yammer Network, and you feel you have a over zealous admin, then perhaps reach out to the designated community managers to give your feedback.

    On All Company Group - Yammer best practices recommends teaching users not to post in the All Company Group. In an environment with a huge number of users, if everyone posts in the all company group then the message will get lost very fast. It is better to post into the specifc interests groups where the audience is actually interested in the conversation.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply,

    As mentioned earlier, there are certain screnarios in which the email notifications are sent irrespective of the Yammer  email configuration settings and Announcements made in all company Yammer group is one of them.

    There is no way to ristrict email notification for Anouncement made in "All company" Yammer group.

    If the announcement was made in a Yammer group other than "All company", than please let me know.

    Thanks and regards

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting,

    The email notifiction can be configured by logging in Yammer > click on top left gear icon > edit settings > notifications.

    Also I would like to inform that in some scenarios, the email notification will be sent irrespective of the email notification configuration setting.

    1. Announcement made in All company Yammer group.
    2. If Some one Tags / CC your profile when create a message / post in Yammer.

    Please find the below Article for more information.
