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

on
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

Cross posting in multiple channels

on
Here is another feature that has been in the works for a while, and I know a lot of customers who have been waiting for this: Cross porting of messages in multiple channels in multiple teams.

It easy to use, and accessed through the "rich text" button on the bottom left when you create a new message. Then select your channels in the "select channels" button.

Be aware though, once these are posted, there is for now no way to see which channels you have posted the message in, and there is no aggregated view of all the comments in the different channels, they have to be monitored individually for now.

This is the M365 roadmap ID 52393 and should reach all tenants by the end of this month.
