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

Creating tasks from chats or channels coming to Microsoft Teams


Tasks, Planner and Teams is getting an even better integration, and soon all users will be able to create tasks directly from Teams. The feature will be available from chats and discussions in channels. 

To get to the feature, users need to click the three dots on a message, and select "create task" from the list of actions.

According to the messages in the Admin Center, this should be rolling out during May.

PS: The app "Tasks by Planner and To Do" will soon be renamed to just "Tasks"
