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

New file experience coming to Teams

We all know (I hope) there is a tight integration between Teams and SharePoint. But many have pointed out the files tab isn't as rich the library experience in SharePoint.

Today, Microsoft announced an update that will bring these two products closer together and make the files experience a lot better. You can read about all the new features and how it make it easier to solve your tasks from within Teams. (Link)

Personally I've been using the "Open in SharePoint" many times, but after I started testing the new feature, I see I'm using it less than before.
