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.

Live Caption (English) Coming to Teams soon

on
**Updated with proper commands"
Microsoft is releasing a new feature in Teams called "Live captioning". This enables the end-user to turn on speech to text for their meetings. The message was recently distributed in the O365 Admin portal and is mentioned as roadmap feature 52817,

If you are a user, you need to know this isn't automatically turned on, but yout have to select it from the "call bar".

If you are an admin, you might want to know you can control this feature on a global or per policy basis by the guidelines in the following article at docs.

Through powershell, you can do the following (Teams meetings policies are managed with the SkypeOnlinePowershellModule):
- If you want to disable the option of live captions for Teams meeting attendees, run this command in PowerShell: 
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity "global" -LiveCaptionsEnabledType "Disabled"
- If you want to re-enable the option of live captions for Teams meeting attendees, run this command in PowerShell: 
Set-CsTeamsMeetingPolicy -Identity "global" -LiveCaptionsEnabledType "EnabledUserOverride"
- Where PolicyName is any custom policy you may have created. Global would refer to tenant-wide global policy.
