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.

Not only do live meetings NOT pop out - but sometimes when they are minimized to the lower right-hand corner of your Teams window, they won't restore to original size. At that point you have to maximize (taking the whole screen) or "leave" and re-join... which just wastes time. I've opted to watch live meetings from a browser instead of the teams app, but this is also annoying as both the app and the browser will get teams notifications... :( Please fix this!

Seconded and thirded! Definitely good for productivity to be able to pop out a live event. Another workaround is to attend the live event on a different device, if you have one.

This would be a great feature to have. We have live events often but work continues on and there are always chats to respond to. Having to toggle between the two is subpar at best. :)

Yes please. People reach out often via chat and I have to leave the conference and rejoin instead of just staying involved. Please allow for pop-out

This needs to be implemented - multi-tasking is just too difficult in teams with the current implementaion. And also inconsistent with how chat windows can be popped out.

Pop out is ideal, but allowing resizing of the window when minimized would also be useful.

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.
