Join Teams work meetings from Microsoft Teams (free) and vice versa

on
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.

Orgwide custom background coming to Microsoft Teams

on

Custom backgrounds have been available for Microsoft Teams for some time now, but managing them from an organizational point of view has not been easy. The feature is expected to be rolling out in preview in the April-May time frame, and will hopefully reach GA by the end of July.

Mind you, the feature requires the "Advanced Communications license" when the feature hits GA. If you roll out this feature during preview, the images will be unavailable for users without the license one the preview ends.
