Multi-window for chats and more
I want to have separate top-level windows for each person I'm chatting with, rather than tabs.

Multi-window chat is in testing. I hope to have great news regarding rollout to the public rings soon.
We are working to ensure that multi-window and other future multi-window experiences are of the highest quality when they release.
Thanks!

Yes, MUST be able to have Chat and a File open at the same time. it is annoying to have to go back and forth.

I would also like an option, if Multi-Window support is available for chats, for a new separate chat window to appear on top of other items when a new chat comes in, essentially an "Auto pop-out" for incoming chats

Agree. It is difficult to be on video chat and look up files at the same time. Looking forward to the new release!

yes please - enable separate windows. it's not userfriendly to chat and look at other document into teams - wasting time to look for your chat and reply ...
looks like Microsoft ... the 'windows' inventor ... forget his basis :-((

Get with the times here Microsoft. The world has shifted and you are going to be out run by other programs with better more user friendly interfaces. Not sure why this feature has been overlooked but you need to fix it now... Not to mention only being able to see 4 video feeds during meetings... Time to do better!

Awful interface. Tabbed windows (conversations, etc.) and (un)dockable windows please for video, etc.

Please consider moving the video screen bar at the top of the screen so that you are looking up when looking at yourself- with having them at the bottom it sets you up to be looking down for much of the conversation.

The whole world is using Microsoft Teams at the moment. Please just release multi-windows right now! In a professional setting, it's really a must-have, not an option.
Thanks,

the inability to multitask within teams is currently a severe limitation. For example if I'm part way through scheduling a teams meeting and I answer a video call I lose everything I just put in to scheduling the meeting. Hope the multitasking functionality will be upgraded soon.

Allow multiple videos please plus use of multiple screens.
Teams was not ready for prime time and they wanted for SFB 2019 users to migrated to Teams.
Other conferencing tools allow multiple feeds (more than 4) on screen.
If Teams wants to be on top, you need to address this urgently.

Instead of multi-window, can you create tabbed navigation similar to internet browsers?

How can you set up your screen so you can see more than four people at one time ?

Support undocking of meetings. I have multiple monitors. I have no need or desire for mini screens I cannot see while typing in another teams channel.

The scenario where you are working on a document on teams, have a call on teams and a chat on teams is tedious. Go to the chat and go back to the document. Go to the call and go back to the document. Pressing back button helps but many times you would have to go back on the teams, files, open the file, go back to where you were on the file.
Best way would be to have a sort of active tabs which remembers the state, and move freely from calls to chats to teams to documents etc. -

Does this mean that we will soon be able to open a file that has been placed in Teams (Mac desktop app) and then open another window in Teams so that you can navigate and open another file that has been placed in Teams?
