Instead, the content that's presented to the user can be controlled via the Microsoft 365 admin center. To get to the Microsoft 365 admin center, sign in at https://admin.microsoft.com with your admin account. Lets you choose either the Microsoft News or Office 365 feed experience for the new tab page. If you set this policy to 'News', users see the Microsoft News feed experience on the new tab page. If you set this policy to 'Office', users with an Azure Active Directory browser sign-in see the Office 365 feed experience on the new tab page. If you disable or don't configure this policy, users with an Azure Active Directory browser sign-in are offered the Office 365 new tab page feed experience, and the standard new tab page feed experience.
