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

    So as a Slack user now forced into using Teams, it is definitely an inferior layout.

    I want to pin my TEAMS Channels chats and my individual Chats on the same bar like I can in Slack. Toggling is a waste of time.

    Agree. In addition the "hands up" facility is neat tool but is very difficult to monitor without access to participant list.

    Support colleagues, chairs and chairing meetings myself I would agree the ability to view participants lists to see order of raised hands and chat at the same time is almost a necessary function for good meeting efficiency.

    Webex Meeting and Webex Training also allows both Participants and Chat to be viewed at the same time... Microsoft - get Teams on board please!

    please add the ability to have the attendee list and chat meeting open at the same time in TEAMS meetings.

    As a teacher, being able to see both participants and chat would be an added bonus.

    I also would like to be able to see chat and participants at the same time. It will be easier to use.

    Switching of Participant and chat window is cumbersome during meetings/ trainings. Appreciate if we can see both at the same time.
    Also what will help is to introduce Q&A window as continuous chat looses focus of Q&A.

    I am a teacher and students are constantly being kicked out. I need to always see the lobby and also monitor chat as I try to teach. This is crucially important.

    While fixing this also add chat only participants so they can be removed from the meeting chat after they've left the audio portion of the meeting (security).

    This is such a basic requirement to manage meetings, I sometime wonder if Teams developers have ever heard of UX design.

    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..
