The Microsoft Feed consists of a list of the specific users Files and activity across the Microsoft 365 suite. These lists can be found in the following areas:
- Microsoft 365 Portal
- Microsoft Edge Work Feed (signed in the RGU account)
- Outlook Mobile
- Microsoft 365 Mobile App
Although the feed can often be shown with the title of Trending, this feed is unique to the logged in user and should not be mistaken for a Public Feed. Only files, including shared files, that are already accessible to the user will be shown here:
Please also be aware that the number of views beside each file relates to the number of times the file has been opened, and not the number of people that can see it.
This means that if you are the only person with access to a file and open it 13 times in the course of a week, the "viewed" number will be 13.
Here’s what users might see in Microsoft Feed:
Updates to Documents: Users could see updates to documents they’re working on with others.
Shared Links: Links shared with them in Teams chats might appear.
Suggested Tasks: The feed may suggest tasks for users to follow up on.
Highlights About Colleagues: Information about colleagues, such as achievements or updates, could be visible.
The information in Microsoft Feed is tailored to each user. They only see content they have access to, including documents stored in shared folders in OneDrive or on SharePoint sites they can access.
Microsoft Feed doesn’t change permissions; each user’s feed is unique based on their existing access right.
Microsoft Feed is powered by Microsoft Graph and aims to help users discover and learn about people and interests relevant to their work.
*Each user’s Microsoft Feed is unique, tailored to their specific context. While some shared files may appear in multiple users’ feeds, no permissions are altered by the feed, and nothing is publicly published
