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

Hooray! Multi-Window chat has been a long-awaited feature, and it is rolled out fully to the general public. Please be sure to “check for updates” and restart your client if you aren’t seeing it.

Enjoy!

It sounds like from an architecture standpoint MS blew it if it is so difficult to have multiple windows open inside Teams. I should be able to switch between multiple teams and channels quickly without the need to re-navigate to the specific Channel Tab where I left off. Did nobody on the Teams development team see this as a deficiency?

From what I have seen so far you get an F for execution. This is not what I wanted and I doubt what most users want. ALL chats need to be external windows so I can have separate chats with each person, team, etc. I guess I should have expected nothing less from Microsoft. You even acquired Skype and Skype did this BEAUTIFULLY. You must really be trying to screw this up. Here's hoping there are frequent updates to this feature.

Hi there,
something we really have trouble in our MS Teams is the search function in a "Wiki" tab. We are using wiki as a summary of useful links to tools and sharepoints and adding explanations to it. As of now this is still the best way of doing it and ease the onboarding process for new employees significantly e.g. I just need to forward the link to the wiki and its all there at one place.
Could you please take this up? Would be muhc appreciated!
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
Best regards

I would argue that this is only partially implemented. You still cannot pop out meeting chats and channels. Is this planned?

I would like to have the full ability within this pop out window chat.
In a situation where you want to switch to (video) call within such a window chat, you still have to go to the main chat navigation and search for the whole thread. This is where you can find the (video) call icon.
This is not very productive, and I lose more time. -

SO I finally got this and ... I guess its OK for people who are just obsessed with recreating an IM client. But...
- doesn't work for teams channels/conversation threads
- all windows close if you switch orgs meaning you can maintain multiple chats across companiesIt's basically window dressing providing no functional value?
OH well.

Hay alguna función para que mis alumnos puedan compartir su pantalla a la misma vez? Así como puedo ver 3x3 cámaras activas, podré ver 3x3 pantallas compartidas?
Esto me ayudaría para poder ir viendo qué hacen mis alumnos
Gracias😊 -

It would be better if you could change it so that all chats popped out and the Teams app only showed the list of users like Skype. Right now it's weird as why bother popping out a chat just to have it also be open in the Teams app twice? Usually the point of popping out a chat is to make the whole application smaller, not to just add more popups.

Are there plans to roll this out for Channels as well? I see the Admin comments mention "Chat", "Meetings", and "Calls"...but nothing about channels within a Teams...team.
For that matter, often what I would really want is the ability to pop out a particular conversation within a channel.

Definitely a great improvement. Can all Chat sessions be "pop out-able" including meeting chats? Additionally, can all of Chat be "popped out" not just 1 chat session?

The rolled "pop out chat" needs to be more sizeable...

The rolled "pop out chat" does not have the focus for their own notification messages.
Please fix this... -

The rolled "pop out chat" breaks the reply to format ">" that no longer creates the needed quite paragraph format.
Please do not break working things at least... -

I love the new feature to pop certain teams conversations in a new window. PLEASE disable the doubleclick to open and leave the contextual arrow to the right. It's way too easy to accidentally open a window when you're switching to teams from another application.

Will this be available in the Web Client as well?

Are you serious? This new feature is not working correctly. Instead of flashing the pop-out-window in the taskbar when receiving a message, it flashes the main window. Even worse, even after you've read the message inside the pop-out-window, the main applications keeps on flashing. This feature is implemented in a way, that it does not give any benefit. After having waited for so long -- I can't believe this.
