When you add a page to a site, you add and customize web parts, which are the building blocks of your page. This article describes the My feed web part.
You can make your page or site more dynamic and relevant to individual users by adding the My feed web part. The My feed web part will show a mix of content from across Office 365, based on what's likely to be most relevant to the current user at any given time.
The feed is personal to each user. Different users will see different content. See also Your feed is personal to you.
The users will only see documents or other content that's explicitly shared with them or that they have access to. This can be documents that are stored in a shared folder in OneDrive or on a SharePoint site that they have access to, or a link that someone sent them in an email conversation.
The users might also see important meetings that are coming up shortly and can join these meetings directly from the web part.
The content in the My feed web part for a given user will not change depending on what page the web part is added to.
