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

Webinar features coming to Microsoft Teams, and what you need to know as an admin

There have been a couple of posts regarding the webinar feature coming to Microsoft Teams in the Admin center. The Registration feature is the first feature to land, and it will be default on for all. However there are certain things an admin should know about the feature, and how to control it.

Although the feature is on by default for all, the registration page will only be available for internal users of the same tenant. If a user should need to inviter users from outside the organization, a admin have to delegate a policy allowing this action.

The feature can be controlled with the new- or set-csteamsmeetingpolicy as described here. Use the AllowMeetingRegistration or/and WhoCanRegister parameter as documented.
