When in a teams meeting - I would like to see both participants and chat at the same time
When in a teams meeting - I would like to see both participants and chat at the same time. Right now - its one or the other. in Skype for Business meetings - that was not the case, we could see chat and participants in one view

Teams is such a step DOWN from using Skype for Business. It is so not intuitive. It's more intrusive, and features are lacking. We all need to see Participants and Chat, and have it POP-OUT..

Please add this capability. Attending a meeting while monitoring both users and chat is inpracticle as is.

This would have come in incredibly handy in a meeting I had last week which was a brainstorming session. While presenting on another screen, I used the participants list to monitor hand raises to call on those that wanted to express ideas. It would have been great if I could have monitored the meeting chat at the same time without gymnastics.

Feature badly needed for presenters. Right now you need 2 people to run a training: one to present and another to monitor chat. There are some work around (like loggin from another computer on listener node...) but they are cumbersome

PowerPoint screen sharing take over the entire screen for the presenter, which doesn't allow access to other buttons like Chat, People etc. Alt + Tab can be a solution but that is not going forward but backwards in terms of features. This is annoying. There is work around in PowerPoint slide show settings to run as Desktop Window when you go on slideshow mode but that is not convenient. Please fix this asap. Thanks.

I was given an iPad for my remote device during and a Microsoft Teams account to work in Live classes during Covid. Why can’t I chat and raise my hand while looking at my Teacher’s video? It hurts my participation. Please Microsoft, fix this for students’ sake also!

Since video does not work for me and even when it worked in the past, I saw a single participant only, having the participant list + chat at the same time is crucial to make this "tool" even remotely useful.

My frequent operation in Teams is to switch between participants and the conversation window. This is too much trouble, please let them display at the same time!

Fix this please! It's driving teachers crazy. We had it in Zoom and now we have to use Teams which doesn't even have basic functionality... like the new gallery view where they're all in their seats is cute, but this is essential. :(

Please add this basic feature or provide an easy workaround.

Please add the functionality to be able to have the Participants and the Chat displaying at the same time. This is needed for instructional purposes. I can do this in Webex and need to be able to do it in Teams.
Please provide this functionality! -

Agreed. In a classroom setting when trying to check for hands up as well as monitoring conversations this is critical. It is something that our teachers are clamoring for in moving from Zoom. It is up there with an expanded gallery view and the need for breakout rooms in terms of how many questions we're getting about this as schools try to deal with lockdowns. Please fix this.

As a meeting facilitator, I can't agree with everyone more! I NEED to be able to see the participant list and the chat window simultaneously! PLEASE enable this feature in your next roll out! Far more important that pretty backgrounds!
Thank you! -

if your going to kill a app with a new app at least make it have the same features. Nothing like a step backwards. Please kill teams in general, but until then please add the simple feature to show both the participants and the chat, like every other chat client on the market.

Agreed, very important in order to keep up with the competition, which can do this.

when you're chairing a big meeting, you need to be able to see hands up and comments at the same time as keeping an eye on shared presentations

unless you are trying to be like Google and making a worse messaging app with each release, please include basic functionality that has been there for decades rather than removing them.
