Ability to open multiple documents
Currently If I am editing a File in Teams, and if I have to refer another file present in Teams, I have to forcefully close existing document and go to the next file. It will be a nice to have feature if I can open other documents in Preview mode if I am editing a document.

same comment from my side, we should be able to open multiple files at the same time.

This is a must, as it stops the real value of MS teams from being used. People just think TEAMS is about video conferencing, but if you just change some of these additional parts you will have a market leading APP

I cannot work with two different files stored in Teams at the same time.

Yes it's an embarrassment. Only MS could revert to desktop infancy. You have a windowing system - use it!

I'm appalled to be back in the 1990s without the ability to keep multiple documents open at the same time. I like the idea of a browser workaround although not certain how that works. If anyone can comment on that or point to a demonstration that would be most helpful.

Very frustrating that you lose sight of one document when you go to another in Teams and then have to reopen the first one. Please allow ability to have multiple documents and move among them in Teams.

We have deployed teams during lockdown and working from home but if we can't view multiple documents from teams then sadly we will stop using it once we go back to the office.
Is it possible to have this functionality asap? Where is it in your development program?

One work around is to open them in separate browser tabs. When you go to edit the files, there should be an "Open in Browser" option. This will allow the different files to be in separate browser tabs.

The tab approach would be great, it really sucks that you lose the document you had open when you click a link to another. These documents should open in new tabs, or at least in the desktop app if you have the option. It would also be great to improve the function where you click a link, then your browser opens, then you have to click join conversation. It would be easier just to execute directly to Teams.

I also need multiple tabs in Microsoft Team. I'm not able to have document open and discuss its content at the same time. Very unconvenient :-(

Please fix this ASAP, impossible to use whole document idea in Teams without this function.

We need this! My team wants to have document tabs or at least a side by side document option. This limitation pushes them out of Teams.

Frustrating to say the least. Google's suite has had this function down pat for years.

This is very frustrating not allowing to open multiple files in Teams. Couldn't believe they forgot to build a basic functionality. Our users are very disappointed and they have to open in sharepoint as another file to open so, they can switch from one window to another.

It is indeed inconvenient for users that MS Teams does not allow to open multiple document tabs. Among others, it complicates hyperlinking.

Our IT department are trying to get us to move to using Teams to access all our shared files. I can't believe you can't have 2 files open at once within Teams. This seems such a basic function! I'm assuming I would have to open one, download it into PowerPoint and then go back to Teams to close the original, open the second file and download that to PowerPoint too. A bit of a faff!!
