SharePoint Home Sites | The Heart of Your Intranet

Today we are going to take a look at SharePoint Home Sites to see what they are all about, and why they're useful. I thought I'd demonstrate the differences that setting a Home Site makes to a SharePoint intranet, by comparing the before and after.

"Set up a Home Site for your Organization":

We have a course in how to build your own intranet homepage in SharePoint - you can learn all about the different sections and web parts you can use there:

Great video. Search and News in home site will be useful.

Good video, informative. Word of caution: watch your audio settings. The background music was getting a little loud at times when you where talking and it was difficult to hear you. Thanks.

[moodberry]

I really appreciated this video. It gelled some questions I had. But you mentioned Powershell. Is it possible for you to explain Powershell, what it is, and what it can do, how to access it and maybe an example or two?

Thank you so much for the time and effort, please can you do a admin side of SharePoint video thank you.

[spiritmorin]

Thank, I may apply that. Can you share how you add your brand name at the top? In my tenant I have nothing bettween the 9 dots and the name SharePoint. Thank.

Hi Matt, great video! How do you get rid of the Sharepoint's home page's left panel? I mean the one that has the Following, Recent and Quick Links panes. Thanks in advance!

Hi Coach. Need help to set my communication site to Homesite. It prompts that - The provided site url can't be set as a Home site.

Do you know if this can be rolled back and set the SharePoint Start Page like it was before the change? Thanks!

Hi, thanks for this information, if i may to ask, how could you put a logo on office 365 suite bar? .. i could only manage to set logo on site and hub site nav bar.. perhaps i missed it somewhere.

[dorie]

Can an existing Hub site become the new Home site? Or does one have to be created new? I have one that is an existing Hub with satellites. Wondering if it can be just converted to the new Home?

I tried this on our tenant, and the connection to the SharePoint Start Page does not happen. Looks to me like this feature is not rolled out (to our tenant) yet. Are you on a targeted release tenant or something, since you've got this feature already?

[samgray]

Seems like this feature keeps getting put back. 😂
