Just one day after Microsoft Launcherversion 5.5 went mainstream, a new beta release is now available for download. With the fresh version beta 5.6 release, testers of the popular Android launcher can now enjoy a new integration with Microsoft Teams meetings and see flagged emails right from the Tasks cards.

Full changes introduced with this update can be seen in the changelog below, as seen on the Google Play Store. Keep in mind that Adaptive Icon support is not one of the new features, as it was previously added with yesterday’s version 5.5 update.

Teams integration in the calendar card and Outlook integration in the feed card are very welcome additions, helping bring together more of Microsoft’s services in the Launcher. Beta testers will also likely appreciate the easier to understand setting page, as it will make customizing the launcher a bit easier.

Microsoft Launcher version 5.6 beta should be showing up right now in the Google Play Store if you’ve already enrolled as a beta tester. If not, you can grab this latest update right now by clicking the link below, and scrolling to the middle portion of the app listing. Everyone else should expect this update to drop after a period of testing is complete.
