Alpha Ring - can no longer share to Twitter.

Hello,

i am from Germany ....

Now i want to join Alpha Ring, but Microsoft Support tells me, the only way i can join Alpha Ring ist via Invite from another People in the Alpha Ring.

But i dont know anyone in Alpha Ring.

What can i do to join Alpha Ring in XBOX Insider Hub?

Greetings from Germany as well.

Previously, before there were rings, you had to be invited by someone already in the "Xbox Preview Program" as it was called back then.

This was then changed to the Xbox Insider Program, and anyone was able to join by installing the Xbox Insider App, and anyone is allowed to choose a ring up to Beta.

Alpha and Alpha Skip Ahead are only available by invitation from someone at Microsoft, and only if new free slots are available.

You will have to "earn" the privilege to be considered by providing regular and quality feedback, and hope that there are Alpha/Skip Ahead members that provided less feedback, and are removed from the Alpha/Skip Ahead rings.

So the only thing we can suggest is to be patient, and to continue participating in the available activities, and wait for the invitation.

Hi,

you can change rings in the xbox insider hub when yo manage the xbox update preview rings note that alpha and alpha skip ahead are invite only but you should be able to join the beta ring

What ring are you in? Only those in the alpha ring can upload a custom pic via the console.

Custom gamerpics are only available to people in the alpha ring of the insider program at the moment.

If you are not part of the alpha ring then you can not use custom gamerpics at the moment & risk some sort of enforcement action if you do so.

This is a known issue at the moment that has affected some for quite a while. I'm in the Alpha Skip Ahead Ring for the Insider Program and the most we've been told is that they're aware of it but it'll take longer to fix.
