Microsoft Teams and Android Apps not a part Windows 11 Insider preview 

Perhaps, there are some features that were announced by Microsoft in the early development stages, and hence, they could not make it to the Windows 11 insider preview. One of those is the integration of Microsoft Teams. With Windows 11, Microsoft plans to promote and increase the usage of Microsoft Teams, one of the most popular video conferencing applications. Secondly, the Android Apps compatibility is not functioning yet. Microsoft had announced that Windows 11 will be able to run Android apps natively, without any third-party software using Intel Bridge Technology. According to reports, the feature is still not available.
