Microsoft is rolling out some new features for consumers using the Free Version of Microsoft Teams.
With the custom backgrounds effects capability already in place, the free version of Microsoft Teams now allows users to schedule meetings and send out invitations in advance.
Meeting schedulers have the option of either copying the meeting link to send directly to other participants or sending an invite via Outlook or Google calendar.

This feature will allow participants to conversate with language of their choice while the other members, with different language proficiencies, can follow along. It’s currently available as a preview in U.S. English.

- Unlimited chat and search
