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

Teams Viva connection and Viva learning news

Microsoft Viva is a set of tools coming to Microsoft 365, and focuses on real information sharing and collaboration. The first feature has now been released to public preview, and another one is just around the corner.

Microsoft Viva connection was released in public preview September. The Viva app in Teams is disabled by default, and an Admin will have to enable it for the organization. 

Viva connection ties Sharepoint sites, navigation and Teams in a productive way. Making it easier to share news and find the right content from a single source.

Have a look at how it works, and what to do in Microsoft Docs

Microsoft Viva Learning is also coming to public preview in October. So be on the lookout for this feature in the coming few weeks. 

Viva learning is a place for the employees to seek and share knowledge, and where organizations can provide training on different levels. Viva learning is not only providing learning from internal sources or sites, but will already in the preview support LinkedIn and Pluralsight integrations.
