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

Pinning posts in Teams channels

Members of your Teams should soon be able to pin messages to channels. This feature will be on by default, and there is nothing the organization really needs to do. But if you for some reason want to control a channel and not allow members to pin. There is a channel setting to control it. Simply select or deselect "Allow members to pin messages".

The feature should be rolling out early July, and be completed within a couple of weeks.
