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

Forms polls are coming to Teams meetings

Microsoft 365 Roadmap item 68837 announcing polls in Teams meetings is bringing one more feature from Skype for Business meetings into Teams. A simple (or more advanced) poll when the presenter would like to ask questions and get feedback from the audience.

The feature should be rolling out soon and be completed by med December, according by the Roadmap Item. There is more information about it in a techcommunity post on news from Ignite earlier this year.


Ps: Did you know Teams meetings (in preview mode) supports a full screen mode now? All according to this techcommunity post. It was rolled out in October.
