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

Pinned apps coming to the Teams Mobile client

Soon you will be able to get to your pinned personal apps even from the mobile client. This makes the client even richer, and is in my opinion, a great step in the right direction for  the "mobile only" end-users. 

This new feature affects your company's LOB applications, 3rd party applications and even private applications the end-user creates themselves. It doesn't look like the client supports adding new apps from the store, but as an admin this is controlled through policies

The roll-out of this feature started at the end of May, and should soon be available to tenants according to a post in the Admin message message center.
