  We are all using the school issued chromebooks, which are pretty good when it comes to FPS, memory, RAM, etc. When someone creates a world, it works perfectly well, but when we create a code for our students to join, it freezes the world completely as I mentioned above. This didn't happen in the 1.14.60/.70 versions, but this beta seems to have this issue for us. 

   

  Thanks!

  Problems with the Windows version.

  When the language is set to "Japanese", it cannot be displayed correctly.

  Thanks, EDU Team

  Not to be rude or anything, but I really can’t wait, I’ve been waiting sense June/July 2020, and I’m so excited!

  I wish I could provide feedback but sadly I can’t. So I hope it come fast than 4 week(one month).

  In also really exited about Minecraft Live, do you guys have any panels/appearances.
