MS-700 Configure and Manage a Teams Environment Practice Question
You need to ensure that certain users receive new Microsoft Teams features before the rest of the organization to perform compatibility testing. Which policy should you modify to enable these users to access the Public Preview of Teams?
⚠ Common exam trap
MS-700 often tests the distinction between Teams Update Policy (preview features) and App Setup/Permission Policies (app management) — candidates pick App Setup Policy because 'features' sounds app-related, but preview access is controlled solely by the Update Policy.

Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Teams Update Policy
The Teams Update Policy controls whether users receive preview features via the Teams Public Preview program. By assigning a Teams Update Policy with 'Show preview features' enabled to specific users, you allow those users to access new features before the rest of the organization, enabling compatibility testing.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Teams App Setup Policy
Why it's wrong here
App setup policies are used to control which apps are pinned to the Teams navigation bar and the order in which they appear. They do not have any control over the version of the Teams client being used or the availability of early-access features like those found in Public Preview.
- ✓
Teams Update Policy
Why this is correct
Teams update policies allow administrators to manage how users receive updates to the Teams client. By setting the 'Allow public preview' option to 'Enabled' or 'Follow Office Preview' within this policy, administrators can grant specific users access to new features before they are generally available to the public.
- ✗
Teams Meeting Policy
Why it's wrong here
Meeting policies govern the features available during a meeting, such as recording, screen sharing, and participant permissions. They have no influence on the software update cycle or the preview status of the Teams application itself, which is managed at the client level via update policies.
- ✗
Teams App Permission Policy
Why it's wrong here
App permission policies determine which apps a user is allowed to install and use within Teams. This policy focus is on application security and compliance rather than the underlying platform's update schedule or the early adoption of new interface features and system capabilities.
