Office 365 Team Site URL Change

When using Office 365, you might notice the link at the top, "Team Site". This points to your primary domain's sharepoint site. Unfortunately Microsoft has stated that you cannot change the URL the Sharepoint team site link points to.

That presented a problem to me. I wanted that link to change to the "My Sites" site collection that Microsoft provides. You are unable to create a new MySite host with their plan, so I decided to just make a redirect.

I opened up the Team Site using Sharepoint Designer. I then created a redirect.aspx page and put the following in there.


After I saved it, I simply right clicked on it and made it the homepage. Now when users click Team Site at the top of their email, it will take them to their MySite. The redirect can also be pointed anywhere.
