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

Teams room management from the Teams admin center

There is not much information in the roadmap item: 64022, but a message related to this item was published in the admin center a few weeks ago. 

It will not be long until we will be able to see the registered Teams rooms under the "device" section in the Teams Admin Panel.

Here are some of the highlighted tasks we can be looking forward to
  • Changing device settings
  • Restarting devices
  • Device health monitoring of the room system and peripherals
  • Device usage and call quality
According to the message center, this should be rolling out in the second half of June. And all you have to do is make sure the devices are up to date in order to have them listed.
