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

Move from SFBOnline to MicrosoftTeams powershell module

Microsoft recently announced the new MicrosoftTeams PowerShell module now include both SFBO and Teams commands, and is is no longer necessary to load both modules when operating with both SFBO and Teams features in the cloud.

This change can also be the reason why install-module MicrosoftTeams fails. I would recommend to un-install the old modules to avoid conflicts. This can be done through the computer's add/remove programs in the control panel. Alternatively use the -allowclobber switch.

Here is how to upgrade or install the new module.
