Join Teams work meetings from Microsoft Teams (free) and vice versa

Microsoft Teams (Free) users can currently join Teams for work (or school) meetings only as guests, which requires them to use a browser and results in a sub-optimal experience. The new feature rolling out will allow these users to join Teams for work (or school) meetings in one click, without being redirected to the browser or asked to fill in their name/surname. They will also be able to continue collaborating with the meeting organizer and other participants via meeting chat after the meeting.  The feature will work in the opposite way as well, so Teams for work (or school) will just as easily be able to join meetings hosted by a Teams Free user with one click. This is associated with Roadmap ID: 167326

More software

I have been on the lookout for a good (and free) software to secure my HD on my laptops. My employer have been using a tool for this, but we did not have licenses for the Vista OS.

But dispair not! There is an opensource alternative even here. And if I might say so, a rather good alternative. I've been using truecrypt for a while now (www.truecrypt.org), and is quite satisfied with it's functionalaty. I use the whole-disk encryption, but not any of the hidden PT or hidden OS features. 

As with all encryption software, I do notice a slight reduction in preformance of the laptop. The reduction in preformance is most noticeable during boot up and start up. Once up and running, I hardly notice any performance issues at all.

I can also reccomend to use this software to encrypt removable media such as USB drives.
