The Meet Now flyout on the taskbar is also one of the controlled rollouts. I still don't have it on my 20H2 installations.

it works good for them as they can group people together into test subjects and get their data easier but for the end user, the inconsistency is annoying. when you ask your friend to use a feature and they say they don't have it, even when you both are using the same exact build/version/channel.

they do some server-side changes, that's not as big as what we see on Edge stable.
another server-side change is the search area in Windows, don't have to modify anything on your system, just change the way things appear on their cloud server.

if you're using up to date Windows 10, open up the settings and everything you see at the top is called settings header, like your profile pic, your email, your Microsoft reward points etc.
you need to be connected to the Internet to get correct data
