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.

Proper presenter or attendee roles in Teams

on
Rolling out these days are the new presenter and attendee roles for meetings in Teams. This is yet another feature which brings Teams closer to the Skype for Business experience many are asking for.

Road-map feature 51047 should complete by the end of November, and will be enabled by default. I do recommend an update to training and user-guides.

To set the roles ahead of time, use the "meeting options" in the meeting entry to open up a web page where these settings can be set.

Locate the "Who can present", and choose from : "Everyone", "People in my organization", Specific people" and "Only me".

After you have selected "Specific people", use the search tool to pick the presenters.
