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

Let end users try out preview features in Teams

There is a new policy coming to the Teams admin portal, that will allow admins create a policy allowing users to participate and try out preview features.

This is a great way to get a peak at what is coming, and to let "super users" or "champions" prepare for the new features coming your way. 

The policy and how to configure it is described here in the documentation. The polices should be available by the end of this month.
