Pop out for video/live events/meetings
During live seminars or video conferences it would be helpful to pop out the session into a separate window so that we have full access to the teams main app during these sessions. It is distracting to have to switch to different chats even when though we already have the pop out chats.

Yes! Please add this feature, it's really annoying how we aren't able to have the live event in a different window

Agreed - this is a necessary feature!
A coworker and I have found a workaround - copy the URL, paste in web browser, and tell Teams to "Open in Web" instead. This at least offers a separate window, but is annoying to have to do each time.

Can't believe this still hasn't been added, why is it so complicated to add this, surely this is a no-brainer especially as so many of us use multiple screens. Clearly, no one at Microsoft is listening. On a live event now with 500 internal colleagues and not being able to collaborate fully through teams while having the even open separately IS having a productivity and user experience impact!

Yes !!!!!! +1000. Absolutely, a hindrance to effective use of Teams. A separate window, like Teams Meetings or the ability to Pop-Out like Chats is a Need, not a Want !!

My organization hosts national events with sometimes thousands of participants across the organization. The ability to pop-out a live event might seem like a small ask but if that small increase of productivity is multiplied by all of those participants, then we're talking saving money. Hope we get this for the next update!

Totally agree with this point.
It is very frustrating to switch between the live call and active chats. Creates the fear of accidentally leaving the call -

This makes the live event experience super frustrating, would be good if it was a separate window!

Please can we pop out a live event. During live events I either have to ignore any chats, or watch the live event in a postage stamp.
Please.

6 month since the last comment, and this is still a thing. I actually looked up this issue because I am watching a live event (of which my company is a big fan) at the same time as working through several chat issues with remote team members.
Please let us pop this out - the tiny screen sucks. -

To have a live event occupy the primary window for MS Teams with no option to move it is absolutely ludicrous. Yes, you can click on Chat, for example, and it will move to a small window. That's just not acceptable.
As a developer, one who developed many windows enterprise systems over the last 25 years, I have to call BS on this. How difficult is it to add a button to pop-out the window? This is a window, and If it's not, then I call more BS on MS shortsightedness.

Totally agreed !
After I saw separate window for normal Teams meetings ( with new Teams meeting experience), I was fully hoping that this would be same for Live Events as well, but unfortunately it is not the case still. -

Definitely agreed - many town halls / webinars / (even MS training events) need live events but we can't see incoming chats / calendar / etc. without a bit of messing around...

Yes, please...quite annoying if other activities (like chat) are running in the background. You can't continue to what live when answering these...
