Multitasking in a meeting in Microsoft Teams
Desktop
In the course of a meeting, you will be able to continue using Teams. Clicking outside of the meeting will give you access to your other channels in addition to giving you the ability to answer your messages, as well as give you access to your calendar when you choose to click outside of the meeting.
When you click away from a meeting in the app, you will receive a notification on the top of the app letting you know that an entirely new window is going to pop up on the top of the app once you click away from the meeting. It is possible for you to click the window and you will be able to return to the meeting immediately if you need to.

It is possible to start a discussion among the members of your team as soon as you switch back to the team chat or team channel, or you can even invite people from your team to the meeting as soon as you switch back to the team channel.
