Feature Preview

Feature Preview in Rocket.Chat allows your workspace users to enable and experiment with features that are still under development and not yet officially released. These configurations are in the testing phase and may be unstable or incomplete. Users can access this feature from the avatar menu by selecting Account > Feature Preview. Enable any of these features to experience them firsthand in your workspace account.

The workspace administrator must enable this feature before users can access it in thier accounts. See Feature Preview Settings for more details.
