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.

Skype for Business admin center retirement [MC225373]

An important message was posted last week in the Admin center. Microsoft will retire the classic Skype for Business admin center. Starting December 1st, organizations will no longer be able to access the old admin center. Instead, organizations need to manage their users through the Teams Admin center.

There is no change in the Skype for Business PowerShell module or Call quality dashboard, but as I mentioned here on the blog last recently, all of the SFBO commands have now been implemented in the Teams PowerShell module as well.
