I was wondering about being an Age Insider, and helping developers provide feedback about the closed beta on Steam. I think it would be cool to also playtest the closed-beta and see the differences with the public build.
Have a good day 
It seems the info isn’t easy to find from the community forums here, so I Google-searched and came up with these pages that I thought might help you?

Thanks for the reply. I thought that instantly joining the Insiders programme would give me total access to the beta(s) of the games I own on Steam at least 
It’s not like that, unfortunately. I wanted to test, specifically the AoE1:DE betas.

No problem
Is there a new AoE1:DE beta going on at the moment? If so, I hadn’t heard this.
If you’re referring to old betas that happened before AoE1:DE was officially released, those betas are closed/inaccessible and haven’t existed for several months. They were to help the game launch in the first place. But then, also – later on – they did a beta to help test online multiplayer cross-play between Xbox Store and Steam players, if I remember correctly However, as I said, those betas are no longer happening; no AoE1:DE betas in 2020 that I’ve seen.
Are you seeing something that makes you think AoE1:DE betas are still happening, though? Just curious.

Well, the “depots” section in the game’s SteamDB page made me want to try the “Closed Beta” build.
Thanks for the extra info on the betas

You have to register to be an insider first. Im not sure if the insiders can test it tho.
