@VNJoe You have complete control, by default if you deploy a preview version of Office Apps, Teams will follow, but you can control that with the Teams Update Policy. Users can switch in and out of Public Preview from the About menu.
Also to add, Public Preview isn't beta testing, it's as it states a preview of what will become generally available in typically 4-6 weeks. Lots of real testing is done by Microsoft and key customers before Public Preview.

@AnqB0VVRJMzsO6zV We do not have control. We had policy set and new settings were pushed that we quickly flipped back the first morning these notices showed up! We are still getting them. We had this restricted to a small group of project users and have had a case opened for nearly two weeks that cannot answer the question why these messages keep popping up and we keep getting help desk tickets!

@VNJoe Did you figure this out? I just discovered that all of our users are using the Teams Public Preview version, even though the default Global policy is not set this way. The Global update policy says that users should only get the Public Preview of Teams if their MS Office is set to Current Channel Preview, and our users are all on the Quarterly Enterprise channel for Office. I created a new Teams Update Policy and am applying it to users manually. So far the Policy does not force their client to downgrade their version to the GA release, but it does remove the "Preview" notice and I can see specific Preview features get turned off.
We've been dealing with a bunch of weird bugs in the client lately and I am really frustrated that they were getting the Preview version despite our policy being set to avoid this.
