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

Collaborative notes now also on mobile, a combined picker for gifs emojis and stickers and a multi account meeting plugin for Outlook.

Collaborative notes in Teams meetings is a feature that allows meeting attendees to work together to create agendas, take notes, and generate action items. However, until now, this feature has not been supported on mobile clients. This is about to change, as the roadmap item 128652 is set to roll out this month.

Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature that combines emojis, GIFs, and stickers into one picker. With this update, emojis, GIFs, and stickers will be combined in one picker under the smiley face icon. Clicking the smiley face will open the new feature. This feature is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 84023, and should be rolling out this month.

The Teams Meeting Add-in in Outlook now supports multi-tenant and multi-account scenarios. This means that if you’re signed into multiple tenants in Teams, the Teams Meeting button in Outlook will create a meeting invite link for the tenant you’re currently signed into. This obviously requires the user to be using the new version of Teams.
