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.

Another Lync 2013 for Android update

Microsoft has released a new Lync 2013 update for Android (On play).

A shortlist of new Android features are as follows:
- Tablet support (excludes Tegra2 based devices)
- Add participants into an ongoing conversation (IM or Lync Meeting)
- Start an ad-hoc group conversation
- Security improvements through tightened SSL validation.

I was quick to log into play with my device, only to discover I have a unit still not supported (but yes, it might be getting a bit old by now)



For those of you (like me) who still have an unsupported version, I have once again updated my original post with the newest build available for download right here: http://tech.rundtomrundt.com/2013/04/making-lync-2013-work-on-your-android.html

I have installed it myself, and found it to be working just fine.
