Here's how to activate Microsoft Teams Public Preview to access the latest features
The Microsoft 365 ecosystem is constantly evolving, with new features and enhancements designed to improve productivity and collaboration within your organization. A critical part of this evolutionary process is the Public Preview-program, which allows you to get an early look at upcoming features and updates before they are made generally available. By participating in the Public Preview-program you can provide feedback to Microsoft, test the performance of new features and ensure that your organization is well prepared for any changes. In this article, we introduce the concept of Public Preview within Microsoft 365, explain how you can participate and share some tips for effectively testing new features.
