Changing the default SharePoint Online site for direct access

Question

When users click on SharePoint Online, I'd like them to go directly to the homepage of our main site, rather than needing to go through Microsofts layout page.

I.e. rather than this: https://company.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx

I'd like them to go directly into this: https://company.sharepoint.com/SitePages/One-Vision.aspx

How do I do this?

Answer 1

This is not possible at this stage. We cannot customize the SharePoint Home/Hub page ('SharePoint' button the Office 365 Suite Bar). There is a uservoice created already please feel free to vote and let Microsoft know how important it is important.

Answer 2

I think you want to change the home page of your sharepoint root site. follow the instruction mentioned here "Use a different page for your SharePoint site home page"

• Go to the Pages library of your site. To do this:
• On your site, click Pages in the left navigation. Or, if you don't see Pages, go to Settings Gear shaped settings button at the top right, and then Site Contents. On the Site contents page, select Site pages.
• From within the library, find the page you want to make a homepage, and then select it by clicking the circular option button to the left of the page title.
• Click the vertical ellipses (...) next to the page title, and then click Make homepage.

EDIT

This is not possible as of now, Microsoft wont allow to change the landing page of SharePoint.aspx. As a workaround (ugly), you can create a new tile and promote it on top, let user use that one. Please see this article for more information: Add custom tiles to the app launcher
