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

Lock a Microsoft Teams Meeting

Another security feature is coming to Microsoft Teams meetings. Coming this May is the capability for an organizer to lock a meeting in progress. 

If an organizer chooses to lock the meeting, no one will be able to enter the meeting after the lock has been set.

It would be advisable to train users on how to control their meetings with all of the recent feature enhancements. Especially highlight the powers an "organizer" has, and the importance of controlling this role, to avoid unnecessary disruption be "rouge" organizers.
