Microsoft has begun to release Yammer integration with Office documents for Office 365 subscriptions. The short video below provides a brief introduction:

Microsoft have posted an article on their Office blog describing how the new feature works including some frequently asked questions. It’s a good pragmatic introduction. Here are some highlights:

• For now, the integration is only visible when using Office in the browser, i.e. Office Web Apps. It does not work in desktop or mobile apps
• The documents must be stored either in a SharePoint Online document library or OneDrive for Business folder
• Conversations can only take place on internal Yammer networks, i.e. users must have a login account for your domain
• If you rename the document, you will lose the conversation – the association is based on the current link to the document. It is not a permalink

​So yes, some pretty big limitations. But it’s a start and a nice one at that for allowing real-time feedback and discussions around documents
