Office Insider is now Microsoft 365 Insider!
The Office Insider program is now the Microsoft 365 Insider program, in alignment with the transition from Office to Microsoft 365. This program provides all the info you need to know about preview features for Microsoft 365 products.
What has changed?
- Our name. We’ve updated our name on our website, here on Microsoft Tech Community, and our Twitter handle – you’ll find us @MSFT365Insider on Twitter.
- The program purview. You may have noticed that we've been adding topics beyond the traditional Office apps, like Teams and Forms. We will continue to expand our blog to include features, apps, and services under the Microsoft 365 umbrella.
- Release notes have moved to Learn.microsoft.com.
How do I sign up to be a Microsoft 365 Insider?
Go to our Join page and follow the simple steps!
If I was already an Office Insider, do I need to do anything to remain a Microsoft 365 Insider?
No, there will be no impact to Insider updates. Apps in Current Channel (Preview) and Beta Channel will continue to receive Insider updates automatically.
Note: Some Microsoft 365 apps may release features through a different preview channel, and we will note that under the Availability section on our blog posts. Unless otherwise noted, Insider updates are delivered through Beta Channel and Current Channel (Preview).
