Erin, as i know this page is not customizable. The only way is to disable ability to install Office for users https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/msoffice_o365admin-mso_dep365/removing-install-office-2016-on-your-pc-option/a74a64ef-2e33-4038-918c-9e01c4c312d5

Yes, you can block this for all users, see https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manage-user-software-in-Office-365-c13051e6-f75c-4737-bc0d-7685dcedf360?ui=en-US&amp;rs=en-US&amp;ad=US&amp;fromAR=1

We currently block the install via policy as we have a process for installing on our company owned assets. &nbsp;Howevver we do want to allow people to install office on their personal PCs. &nbsp;Probably not a way to have it removed from the portal, while still allowing access from personal PCs?

Not that I know of. I think that your best bet is just to communicate to your users that they should not try to install it when then they are using the company computers.

It's just a link to an installer, I bet if you turned it off in the portal you could provide the link in your own intranet somewhere with a suitable explanation, or some custom code to detect work machines.In our experience for a few years now it's not an issue, my staff use the version we give them and the few that don't realise we block them installing find out pretty quickly :)
