I joined the alpha ring last night. I turn on my xbox and this is all I see. Is my xbox...

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.

The issue seems to have resolved itself for me, but I'm not sure if it's Microsoft's doing or my own.

I rejoined the Xbox Beta program last week. I'm currently in the Omega ring. When I first joined I was still having the same issue.

I changed my settings back to 4K last night just to see if any progress was made, and all of a sudden recordings are working again.

Join the Xbox Insider Program. I just joined last night and when i wake up this morning i suddenly have the new dashboard. And i'm just in the beta testing program not the alpha.

Hi! Just install Xbox Insider Hub app and join to the Insider Beta program to get last alpha ring update for console include a new Avatars.
