RobOK Did you have to do anything to get this feature enabled in your Teams?
Fluid / Loop is still not showing in the Teams Chat for me.  I ensured I started a New Blank Chat.
In the Teams Admin Portal, I searched for Loop and get 4 Results which are all Third-Party.

 

 

In the Office Admin Portal, I cannot find any switch to enable. The RoadMap site says it is Rolled out to All Tenants.
Don't really want to contact MS Support unless absolutely necessary.
Any Pointers are Appreciated.

    My fun workaround today was creating a component message to myself within the Teams chat app, then Copy link> open in browser (from here you can view the live component in office.com, OneDrive or SharePoint. Once the .fluid component is open type "/" and you will see a ton of new components 🙂

      Thanks for the Tip, Teams setting in Desktop does not show Preview. Unfortunately, this is taking me down more of a Rabbit Hole.
      Already set for Targeted release for select users in Office Portal, I am one of the Selected.
      Teams Global (Org-wide default) set to Follow Office Preview but no option for the Office Current Channel (Preview) listed anywhere.
      The blog suggests setting all users to the Preview which is not even an option in my Tenant.
      What the Roadmap is really saying is the "Feature Preview" should be released to General and not Active in General.

        I know , Bad form to Reply to my own Post.
        I finally got Loop to work in Teams.
        I had to change my Teams Policy from "Follow Office" to "Enable"
        After about 3 hours , I signed out of Teams and back in and I could switch to Preview in Teams Desktop.

      Tip from a noob, once you successfully enable Preview or Dev mode you may have to do this again on another sign-in session, if you see the "P" above your name then you are good to go otherwise click "about" under the 3 dots next to your organization name 🙂
