Improved Chat Pop-Out
Thanks for finally releasing the chat pop-out, but unfortunately it needs some work. Individual pop-out windows for every conversation is frustrating, confusing, and inefficient. There should be an ability to pop-out the entire chat component within Teams, or AT LEAST group together the pop-out chats into one Window. Also, if the pop-out chats are minimized and a new message comes in, when you click on the notification banner, it opens the chat in the main Teams window, not the pop-out chat that you have with that person. This defeats the whole purpose of pop-out chats. Please fix this.

yes, very annoying if you work with a document in a channel and have to jump to the chat to respond something and then you need to click you back to where you were working.
Separate the instant messaging so you can pull it out. -

PopOut Chat is something that worked really well on Skype for business, but now with most of us moving to Teams only mode wish we have this feature improved and have a better way for using it.

Now that Teams will be the only tool for Instant Messaging, it would help a lot if chats would directly pop-out when you are contacted. It can't really be the way that you need to check all chats for relevance since most of them will belong to group meetings where people are just writing "Thanks" or "Need to leave now". And even then your answer will not be instant if you have missed the banner on one of your screens.

Agree, it would create a much more efficient means of communicating.

Absolutely agree with this suggestion, it's something we're really lacking.
To have a default option to 'open all new chats in pop-out' would be great. -

Yes we need this - Teams has replaced all IMs and this would really make it more awesome.

It is more important than everything else as SfB is running out of business.
Just add a single-line text field to the call notification banner, as it already exists on the message notification banner ;-), to directly send a short message.
Optional, add a chat button to the call banner to open a chat window to start a conversation with the caller.

It is very inconvenient to lose what you are working on to answer a chat and have to navigate back to it and wait forever for it to load. Please make the chat menu a pop out option and have the notification pop ups open the popped out chat window not the main Teams chat window.

It is good as is in Skype, grouping all single chat in one window, apply the same function on the Teams chat

Along with this idea, we would like the ability to pin the Chat in the taskbar!

Honestly I wish we could pop out everything into separate windows for multi-tasking, pop out chat tab, pop out a team, pop out calendar, etc. ESPECIALLY search, since its hard to go between looking at a results and back to search results list

WHY ARE YOU SENDING AN EMAIL PLUS A MESSAGE IN MS TEAMS BOX?

Please rebuild Skype functionality in MS Teams chat. The user experience in Skype was stellar and unfortunate the functionality was not leveraged and built into Teams chat. Important to quickly catch up here...

or not to popup the second message and onward

Agree - this needs to be at least configurable to be enabled as a pop-out standalone app like skype. I have to take an extra step to initiate a chat, and sometimes my personal chats are lost by team meeting chats of people saying 'good bye', 'need to leave early'.

Make it a separate app. Having to go back to a doc, losing my place in it, is very frustrating and slows down productivity greatly. End up synching docs to my local drive to be able to read them, which defeats the purpose of an online shared portal.

We NEED to be able to pop-out a chat from the banner preview.
