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. 😉
Short update from my side:
- I´m using since today the new Version 1.6.0028507 in Teams classic
in advance it does not work yet
I see the links in a template calendar entry in Teams, but nothing happens when you click on them.
You have to copy the link and then mesh is called correctly.
It works in Outlook, by the way.
But:
But, although I thought I had activated everything correctly, no EA setting appears in my profile since a few weeks (specifically since I have been using the new teams).
In fact, I always switch back and forth between the two teams versions.
I have looked again in the update guidelines of the Teams Admin Centre. The switch "Microsoft Controlled" was not activated as recommended. I have now done this and am curious to see what happens.
It can sometimes take a while until the policy is applied.
- Holger- I am using version 1.6.0027573 Teams Classic. With this version, as of yesterday, I could get Immersive Spaces in Teams to work without the Premium license (as the documentation said it would). BUT I have run into problems.
As to New Teams, the documentation said for certain, immersive spaces will not work in New Teams, only Classic for right now.
I am curious how you are using Mesh without the public preview turned on for you Teams client.
Microsoft controlled for the Update Policy, simply means Microsoft will decide what the best Teams client version is. I set it to Teams classic because I want all the accounts in the tenant to be able to participate in the public preview.
I was told by someone to uninstall and reinstall Teams desktop client if it's not working properly, maybe you should uninstall Teams from the machine you're testing on, and reinstall Teams Classic, and try again with that. I have no issues having the EA come up in Teams- and I never go near New. I am suspecting going back and forth might be messing it up? Teams can be fragile on the best of days.
