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.

Microsoft Teams "Read receipts" in private chats rolling out

The feature was announced this spring, and I saw a couple of posts on it over the summer. But I never saw it in production. last week however, admins were notified through the O365 portal that the feature is now being rolled out, and should be completed by the end of this month (Link).


 I would advice all admins to read this post on Message policy settings, and consider the options for this new features: "User controlled", "On for everyone" or "Off for everyone"
