It is easy and quick to pop out a separate window when you are working one-on-one or in a group chat. Then, you can adjust the window’s size, position, or close it if you wish to do so. While in a meeting or on a call, it’s a good idea to use your phone to get more done. You can pop out multiple conversations at the same time, but you cannot pop out the same conversation twice at the same time.
[su_note note_color=”#ffddf1″] Tip: There are many more things you can do with the main app (such as scheduling meetings, attaching a OneDrive File, adding apps, etc.). Return to the main app to find these features that are familiar to you. The pop-out chat window does not need to be closed in order to continue the conversation.[/su_note]
[su_note note_color=”#ffddf1″] Note: For the time being, the Pop Out Chat feature is only available for Windows and Mac, and only available in the desktop app for Windows. As of now, Teams on the web, on Linux, and on mobile devices are not supported.[/su_note]
