Xbox Insider Hub too exclusive?

I've been in the Xbox Insider Program for 3 years and 1 month now and I still have absolutely no idea how to enter into the Alpha Ring. Can anyone explain this to me?

Sea of Thieves not showing in insider hub

Are you checking the insider hub on PC or XBOX?

I've played it on Xbox (Alpa insider) and in my PC insider hub it isn't showing. But on my xbox it still is.

 

You just have to continue to be active in the program, take part in surveys, etc. but Alpha is also by invite only so you would have to wait to be invited into it by Microsoft.

How do the Xbox One Update Preview rings differ and how do I change rings?

There are four Xbox One Update Preview rings, which allow you control when and how often you will get early access to console updates. You’ll gain access to rings based on your activity as an Xbox Insider. If you’ve been invited to more than one ring, you
can switch between them from the Xbox Insider Hub.

The current Xbox One Update Preview rings are:

• Alpha – Open on an “invite only” basis and receives updates at the earliest point in the preview window.
• Beta – Open to Xbox Insiders with a Program tenure of 3 or more months and an Xbox Insider XP Level of 5 or higher. This ring receives updates shortly after Alpha.
• Delta – Open to any Xbox Insider with a tenure of 1 or more months that has reached Xbox Insider Level 2 or higher. Depending on certain edge cases where further attention is required from Alpha or Beta rings, Delta Insiders may receive
  system updates before Beta, though this is not a common scenario. Additionally, while early system updates are not guaranteed across the Delta ring, all Delta Insiders will receive the update prior to GA.
• Omega – Open to anyone and receives system updates shortly before the GA (General Availability) release.

 

To get an invite you must be active and submit quality feedback via the "report a problem" function, I had only been an insider for 6 months when the invite for alpha skip ahead came through.

 

I never got an invite but just kept checking the Insider app until the option to move to the Alpha Ring appeared.

 

Now how would I access more surveys in the Hub? I've taken all available surveys in the last month or so and haven't received a new one for about two weeks. Is that normal?

 

If there are no surveys left to take you will have to wait for new ones to become available. There can be a bit of time to wait for new ones. Also be sure to hit up reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders to leave feedback there.

 

Being active and helpful in the Insider Program is the name of the game to be honest. Keep in mind MS want to have the most active and contributing members testing builds as it directly impacts updates that roll out to the general population. Just keep
at it and with a little luck and continued contribution you'll be selected!

 

Like everyone else says, Alpha ring is on an invite only basis so I recommend doing all your assigned tasks and giving good feedback to increase your chances of an invite.

 

"Only" checking the Insider App is not enough. If there are surveys and quests you can do, do them and answer the survey questions.

Also, if a Beta-Feature is particularly helpful or does not work as you would like it to work, file feedback. Hold the Xbox button on the controller and use the send feedback button, when you encountered a problem.

The more feedback and surveys you file the more "active" you are regarded as a Insider, and the higher the chance of getting an invite to the Alpha ring.
