How do you access an app on Google Play Store for Internal Testing? (not alpha/closed/open tests)

I'm developing an app and trying to test it with a few people internally. I've added them to my list of testers and my Google Play Console App Dashboard says:

"Internal Testing: Active - 0 testers - Not reviewed"

The Internal testing page has my 1.0.0 release listed under Releases with a green check-mark: "Available to internal testers."

The Testers tab says "Testers can join your test on the web [copy link]." Sending the link to my testers opens an opt-in page, and after opting in it presents them with a Play Store link.

Tapping the Play Store link opens the Play store which just sits and spins, as if it's loading something, forever.

From my app dashboard, clicking Google's "View on Google Play" link lands me on a "Not Found" page.

What is up with this workflow? I can't tell if there's something I'm supposed to be doing, or if I should just wait a few days, or what. There's no error message. There's no guidance on the Google Play Console about what I should expect.

Apparently the answer is: just wait several days.

I'm appalled at the UX of infinite spinners with no explanation for 48+ hours, but there it is.
