Mesh public preview does not appear in Teams?
Holger_Duempelmann
I wanted to get back to you that I've been TRYING to get Mesh immersive spaces to work in Teams since it was announced.
And it *wouldn't work*!! Until today and it doesn't quite work even then.
In Teams it should not even require a Premium license, just one of the Business or Enterprise licenses per user (which I have with E5).
I contacted someone inside Microsoft to try to nudge the preview team to see if they forgot to flip a switch or something- and wouldn't you know it, all of a sudden it WILL turn on now, today-- but it doesn't *quite* work....
One key is the version number for your Teams CLASSIC client (it ends in 28452- mine updated today, but I've *been* updating my client over and over since last week).
A quick run down of what you need in the client
-- be sure you're running the desktop client
--be sure that client is CLASSIC. It won't work in new (LOL)
--be sure you have Public Preview enabled (the EA should be on your profile medallion)
--be sure you're on the correct version 1.6.00.28452
I am having other issues with it (like I can't get the environment to change, I can't get audio set up correctly because I can't add the app to Teams correctly, it doesn't have an add button the card)
Please let me know if you can get it to work now, because I really, really a public preview buddy to compare my settings and problems with. 😉
"I can't get the environment to change" - can you also check if any of the conditions in https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/mesh/resources/immersive-spaces-known-issues#other-known-issues apply?
- I was joining ad-hoc meetings in order to simply test the experience. I was trying other user accounts as well. No luck. Many meetings folks have are started, then participants are added or given a link. It would be a bummer if Immersive Spaces didn't work for them and they had to go through all the extra steps of creating a meeting right now, but with right now's time and date, and then add the users and invite them, in order to meet with the option to select the environment all involved preferred. Is this problem going to become a feature?
- I tested a scheduled Teams Meeting, both attendees have Public Preview on. The person who first enters the meeting can see Immersive Space on the View menu, and click on it. They can do what I've been able to do with them alone in an ad-hoc meeting- hear the space, interact with interactables, move, but No, I could not change the environment, had the same error.
Further! The second person who enters the space, despite being on Public Preview, despite having been able to use Immersive Space when doing an ad-hoc meeting alone, *no longer has Immersive Space* on their view menu. I will continue to test... And will add pictures when I am able. - Thank you for the feedback.
That feedback has been heard and acknowledged from other parties too, but we don't have a committed date to change the behavior yet.
