MicrosoftTeams Public Preview update
Hello all,
Following up from our MC post announcement few weeks ago wanted to provide an update on release timelines.
Admin policy work - started releasing to production on 16th November 2020
Client side work to consume the policy - ETA is first week of December 2020. Dates subject to change.
8th Dec 2020 UPDATE: Client side work is now 100% rolled out to consume the admin policy and display public preview.
How to enable
Admin Public preview in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs
End-user Get early access to new Teams features - Office Support (microsoft.com)
This is your space to ask us any questions on our upcoming Teams Public Preview program. Thank you!
Teams Preview team
1.) How does this work in relation to the standard/targeted feature releases in Microsoft 365. For example, if someone is on targeted do they get the public preview features, or will turning on the public preview features, they will get it in advance of the targeted release?
Sfb and Teams aren't part of Targeted release program.
2.) How is it different from developer preview? Will it have a broader range of features?Teams Dev Preview will continue to run independently with the public developers. Features will still be available to both previews.
3.) Will you develop it so it can be applied from Group Policy like other Teams policies?Currently, no. Please use powershell to apply to more than 1 user.
4.) Is there any confirmed list as to what will be in the public preview so we can keep track what is different to GA?We are still actively working on building the list. We will be sharing the features here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/current-channel-preview
5.) I take it that public preview features do not have an SLA or are part of the Microsoft Teams SLA within the MOSACorrect - no SLA
6.) The feedback mechanism - is this through Help in the Teams client? Or via Uservoice?Yes. help --> give feedback.
7.) I assume the public preview only covers desktop and web app as opposed to Mobile. Does it cover Mac's or Linux or VDI?Desktop (Win, Mac, Linux, web) - yes
We are confirming for VDI optimized scenario.

- Hello i have the EA activated. i see some videos that after that and update Teams, we can have access to new teams with a switch on the top left corner
but i update all the time and dont see that swwitch, there is something that i miss? - Kaushal-Mehta@Ching-Yoong Chang features will be added here in current channel https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/current-channel
Sorry that I can't attend the meeting for the sync earlier today as it is for 4:30am my time in Australia.
So, Teams GA features will be added to M365Apps CC release notes, when will this start? ATM, the last details of Teams features are back in 27 Oct 2020.
Will there be any reference/release note when the features in public preview become GA?? It has been more than a month since the December public preview features release, will really like to have some indication on when it start GA.
Look like https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/current-channel-preview still not updated with details of new public preview features flight in January 2021.
The double checkmark problem was never fixed.
Kaushal-Mehta May I ask when will the January 2021 public preview update released? Thx
Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.33674 (64-bit). It was last updated on 1/5/21.
This version does not allow incoming calls to be answered. How do we roll back?
Some interesting things to find out in Public Preview for Teams .. Make sure to turn it on 😉This is great, today we have got public preview on my desktop client.
Also, I have noticed that newly rolled out "New Meeting Join Experience" is not available in the preview mode. When I option out, I have got the New Meeting Join Experience, but when I select the public preview, the new meeting join experience is not available.
- Do you mean the check box for it isn't there in Settings (I still have it) or that in reality you don't get the experience in a call (untested here)?
BTW, in reference to earlier posts, the other thread indicated that Developer also being checked is a bug and that it's being worked on, though there's no ETA.- thank you, I think it is OK now

New day, new luck,
but sorry, unfortunately today again no public preview in the clientKaushal-Mehta Is there any progress on the client side work?
mark3grahams I also don't have the option to turn on preview mode on the client side yet too.
In my Team Desktop Client the 'Public Preview' function is also not yet displayed.
In the Admin Center, I have already set it up for my team account 1.5 weeks ago.
