There is an option to create Announcement in Dynamics 365 and this helps to broadcast News or some important updates, apart from post and activity.

User create Announcement easily from Settings > Administration > Announcement > new > Input data and Save and close.

That is a trick.

    <body>
    window.location.href=”/home/homepage/home_news.aspx?pagemode=iframe”;
    </body>

    File Name Should be : announcementsondashboard.htm
  2. Now go to CRM instance and add new Web resources. How to add web resources , this web resources must have file uploaded you just created
  3. Name the File as ‘announcements’
