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.

Microsoft Teams Calendar getting a facelift - Enhanced Scheduling Form

on
According to a message in the admin center, the scheduling feature in the native Teams Calendar app will be getting a facelift making it a lot more similar to the Outlook experience. The roadmap (post) highlights a time zone picker, availability status and locations.

This is for me a most welcome feature, as I often find myself going back to Outlook when planning a meeting where I need to find available times for everyone (unless I'm using "Find-Time"). Having seen a sneak peak earlier, I can say the invite window now does look a lot more like the interface users are used to from applications like Outlook or OWA.
