I don't see Insider Fast builds in my Microsoft Autoupdate for SfB on Mac. I get the Insider Fast builds for Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, but not SfB. Is there something else I need to do?

Tony - The current insider build is 16.15.148, so it should be coming down. This is likely an issue with Microsoft Auto-Update. I have had hiccups before, and I've uninstalled and reinstalled SfB and that seemed to correct it. You can reinstall SfB from http://aka.ms/sfbmacdownload.

  Thanks Phil. I just installed the latest public release and still not seeing the insider build pop up on my updater. I've also re-selected my desire to be part of the Insider program.

    I checked with our engineering team, and they gave me this to pass along:
    
    Try directly downloading the build from https://officecdn.microsoft.com/pr/4B2D7701-0A4F-49C8-B4CB-0C2D4043F51F/OfficeMac/SkypeForBusinessUpdater-16.15.148.pkg
    
    Some follow-up things to check:
    
    In Terminal, type "defaults read com.microsoft.autoupdate2 ChannelName" and verify that the returned value is "InsiderFast"
    
    In Terminal, type "defaults read com.microsoft.autoupdate2 Applications" and verify that there is an entry for "MSFB16" and that the path points to "/Applications/Skype for Business.app"
