If you are unsure if you are an Xbox insider, then you can download the Xbox Insider Hub, and launch it to check to see if your console in enrolled in any of the insider rings. If it is, and you no longer want to be in any of the rings, then you can unenroll
the console using the app.

Rings are based on how active you are in the program. Over time the program will re-evaluate your ring based on how active you are and you might be chosen to move up.

Is it how active I am on xbox or just on the insider app

Hi Volcannon,

Yes, you can rejoin after leaving at any point. It's possible that by joining and gaining exp so that you move up the preview rings to Delta at least so that you may get a future preview update where this issue is addressed and you can test it out for yourself
before those in the Omega ring or not in the preview program. Beta ring previews updates before Delta ring and the Alpha ring, where updates are tested first, requires an invitation to join.

Either way a solution to this will more than likely be tested in the preview program first. News regarding what is included in recent preview updates for the different ring levels can be found here:

I am trying to change my preview group, but i am not getting

Within the Insider Hub choose Insider content, scroll over to and choose XBox Update preview, then select Manage. There you will see what preview ring the console is enrolled in and the options to choose a different ring or unenroll.

There are different "rings" in the Insider program. The ability to play free-to-play games has been rolled out to the different rings at different times. So not everyone in the Insider program has had access to it yet. You'd need to see what rings it's available in currently and see if you're in one of those rings. If you're not, then you don't have access to that yet.

If you're in a ring that does have access to that and it's not working, then you would need to report that through the Insider Hub.
