Public preview checkbox keeps unchecking
Hi 🙂
When I tick the 'Public preview' box within settings, it is not clear if this instantly changes to the preview version or if it needs a restart. In Classic Teams, enabling public preview used to relaunch the app.
In addition, the checkbox also regularly shows as unticked. I suspect this is happening after Teams updates (which it does a few times a day sometimes).
Does anyone else notice this? I would like to stay in preview mode the majority of the time, but at the least until I choose to turn it off. With this current way of working I am often taken out of it without being notified.
Thanks,
Ian

Yeah facing the same issue , the check box is unchecked when we navigate to other settings.
Is there any workaround , and how to check we are using public preview version.In Teams version 25060.205.3499.6849. Compact mode doesn't work, you have disable another option. When you select Compact mode, you need to scroll up and turn off - Show message previews for chats and team names for channels. This will hide the chat in the left bar, helps when nosey friends stop by.
Happening now in March. Version - 25060.205.3499.6849. After working with MS on a support case, they checked logs and found client is on ring 3.6 which is still the public preview according to them. Its running but just in the background.
they checked logs and found client is on ring 3.6 which is still the public preview according to them. - What does that mean, and can we fix this? Unlike the older versions that has the slider, this version is just the buttons to select Comfy or Compact. I like Compact so I can see more chats, but also so others can't read a portion of my last message to someone.
same issue. I didn't know if it is because I have a number of different accounts I switch between during the day or not.
I have to recheck and restart Teams several times a day. Any workaround available?
Also having this behaviour and the checkbox isn't staying checked at all. I check it, move away from this settings page and return and it has unchecked itself.
I have tried rebooting Teams and rebooting my machine with no success.
I'm on v 25044.2205.3455.2339I am seeing this issue as well.
Same problem since today. It hasn't been an issue in the past.
Same, would love for the combined Teams & Chat to go GA, so I don't have to relaunch Teams every day
Same problem, there is still no solution in February 2025 ?
