Thanks! So September it is then.
I'm not sure. I don't have Teams admin privileges, but my admin has created a new update policy in order to enable PP for both his user and mine. None of us can see the option to enable Public Preview though.
odenil Hello, tell your admin to use PowerShell and verify the -AllowPublicPreview and the -AllowPreview parameter using Get-CsTeamsUpdateManagementPolicy cmdlet. The former is probably not enabled and the latter is probably set to "False" and need to be set to "True", but these settings also depends on your org. setup and needs.
- Thank you! I have forwarded the info.
- No worries. You can read more about it here where you'll also see that the "AllowPreview" will be deprecated eventually.
