I have a test tenant where I try all things in preparation for deployments in production and I was hoping I could enrol the tenant into beta program or something like that to test earlier releases of Teams. I Believe some features would be server based so regardless of the client version, it would also need the server to be at the same beta version.
Is there any specific procedure to do it or request such mode to be available for a test tenant?

Hi,
Microsoft have a TAP (Technology Adoption Program) for Microsoft Teams that you can apply to join.
I guess that a test tenant won't qualify since they want real usage from real users.

@Linus Cansby it seems a fair bit of commitment then, I was hoping just a casual "let's see how it goes" scenario. Thanks for the detailed explanation, much appreciated

@Christopher Hoard nice blog post, very well explained. Are there features that are server-based that will not be available even when using your suggestion? It feels like we are enabling preview features on Teams client, but I wonder on the server-side if they are all supported regardless?
The idea is that I can get a few users to test those features and provide feedback before they become GA in my company as well, that way we can be more confident to train our customers when it goes GA how to use these new features.

@Chris Webb thanks for clarifying this :)
Yep, I guess TAP for me at this stage is out of question. Too much commitment and also risk for the customer I guess.
