the new way of adding multiple datasets (live stream) is not working for me

Hi!
In dec 2020 the update Bi it was told tha PBI allow for multiple datasets when connected to a live stream:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSyYegfA6PQ&t

However, when I connect, I don't get the blue option in the lower right corner and most of my controls are greyed out. Not at all as in the video above. It's the same behavior as before with live datasets.

I have tried from multiple workspaces and some of the datasets i have created myself, form local data that have been publiced.

 

Is it not possible to have multiple live PBI datasets and does anyone know why I have issues above?

 

I run Version: 2.88.1144.0 64-bit (december 2020) (Swedish) version

@JonatanB Did you turn on the preview in options, it is under preview you have to make sure it is turned on and do read the limitations section here since not all the data sources are still allowed.
