Didn't realize Preview invite could expire. No preview forum access, and new invites ...

Merk Man 4 Life · Jun 17, 2015

So as the subject line indicates, I was lucky enough to be accepted into the Xbox One Preview program maybe 6 months ago. At the time, I was worried if I had preview and friends didn't, it might affect our ability to game together. Figured I'd wait and
join later.

Since then, the invite message on my console is gone, I don't have access to the preview forums to post this message there, and the people I've communicated with directly tell me to post here, after they indicated they'd help others if they messaged them
direct.

I understand it's a busy time, what with E3 going on, the backward compatibility getting everyone excited, and I'm not the only person with this issue. But after asking a co-worker with preview access if they'd share an invite with me, and not getting it...
I'm frustrated since finding help doesn't seem as easy as I'd have hoped.

If someone at MS could help me out, it would be extremely appreciated.

Sincerely,

:)

Xbox One Dashboard Preview Beta Access Trouble

Hey there, xXStlCards7Xx! Sorry to see that you don't have access to your original account that had the preview invite. Unfortunately, the access isn't transferable between accounts. In order to get this account in the beta, you will need another an invite.
You can head on over to the
General Discussion forums to see if you can make some friends that are in the preview. Then you will want to ask them via private messages or Xbox Live messages for an invite. Once you do get the invite, you'll need to post up in the
Update Preview Forums to have the preview team move your console over to your new account.

Invite friend to Xbox Development Preview

You need the preview dashboard app to invite friends now, as the preview registration app no longer allows invites.

If you don't have it, you can request it in the preview forums.

Hey there Merk Man 4 Life,

I'm sorry to hear about the issue. You should now have access to the Preview Program forum. When you have a chance, please head on over there to post up what you're experiencing to the proper teams. Thanks in advance!

Hello Thunder, not all gamers that are invited will get accepted. Microsoft must approve the invite before the message is sent to you. Everyone that I invite, are usually accepted the next day, but there could be a back log with certain invites. I would
also post in the preview forums to find out for sure if access was granted to you. If you do not have access to the preview forums, post a new thread here, and ask for access to be granted to the forums.

Good Luck!

Hi,

If you didn't accept the invite then there's a chance you weren't added to the preview program list. Normally you could wait for a support agent to grant you access to the private preview forums, and then ask there to be re-invited. However, the preview
program has now reached near capacity, and it is now highly unlikely that you will be able to join the preview program.

Thanks!

I believe my preview invitation expired, and was told to post to a forum for activation. Any chance I could get some help?

Hi Donald Duck!

Invitations to the Xbox One Preview Program are not sent out over the forums. You will need a friend who is in the preview program to invite you. You may have been invited, but there is a backlog of messages and invites to be sent out.

A support staff member might check your invitation status and then grant you access to the preview support forums so that you can ask there.
