How to Add RSS Feeds to Office 365

On July 7, 2014

Unlike Microsoft Office Outlook, the Office 365 version of Outlook (Outlook Web App) doesn’t support RSS Feeds. At least as of today it doesn’t support this feature but there is always hope that Microsoft will add this feature in the future. In the mean time here’s how you can add the RSS Feed to a page in SharePoint Online, which is part of Office 365.

Edit the page.
On the insert tab click Web part.
In the Content Rollup category select RSS Viewer.
In the RSS Viewer Web Part click Open the tool pane.
In the RSS Feed URL box type the address of the RSS Feed. For example, the RSS Feed URL for my blog is https://www.zubairalexander.com/blog/feed. You can also adjust the feed refresh time and the feed limit, or accept the defaults that are shown in the screenshot and then click OK.
The latest blog posts are now visible in the RSS Viewer and are update based on the frequency you chose.
Save the page.
