Been a active member for a while now, couple years and no invite into the alpha rings yet

The Chromium browser was previously only available for members in the Alpha Skip-Ahead ring, but as of the last couple of days, it's not only been rolled out to Alpha members, but also Beta and Delta members. Only the Omega rings have yet to receive it.

Status July 2021

To be a alpha member you need to provide quality reports and they might invite you but at this stage they are not inviting new alpha members as the alpha ring is full but usually every 6 months they invite new members to alpha so the best way is to wait
and submit reports

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.

Alpha Ring Insiders are exclusive members the only way to get in is by getting an invite from a Microsoft Staff or Xbox Staff

The level and time you spend in the program doesn't count for access to the Alpha group.

There is only a limited space for Alpha participants. If an existing Alpha participant leaves the Alpha group, or gets removed due to inactivity, Beta participants with a good activity record get an invitation.

It depends on the activity, and the quality of the feedback you sent while in the Beta ring if you get an invitation.

So there are two factors for getting an invitation.

You can't influence the first factor: Free space in the Alpha group. You will have to be patient and wait for someone to leave or be removed due to inactivity.

But the second factor, sending quality feedback and participating in the quests, will raise your chance to get an invitation in case a slot in the Alpha group becomes free.

So don't give up. Continue to give good feedback, and have patience.
