Multiple windows for MS Teams?

Why doesn't MS Teams support multiple windows?  It stands to reason that if you are on multiple chats, editing a file, and trying to join a meeting, you don't want to leave each ongoing action behind to go to the next, and shuffle around try to find where you left off in each section later.  Even separate windows for chat would be a huge help, or allowing a meeting to launch a new window outside of Teams and leave whatever you were working on in the original window.  Most people use multiple windows and multiple monitors to multi-task, and I'm surprised that the only way Teams seems to allow this is to run some of your windows out of a browser?  Is there help coming to make this a more productive tool?  This feels like a downgrade from Skye for Business...

    Simply amazing.  You can't share screen in the browser version, and in the install version you have to leave a document to open something else within Teams.

    This is 2020 FFS.  Simply an embarrassing state of affairs.

    Unfortunately, that is limited to chats. The basic issue here is not with chats, but with anything in Teams.

    Very True but when i posted this originally, Even the chat feature was not in the product timeline.   Hopefully a product engineer is working with the UX group and will allow fly outs of all their Teams widgets.

    I see this discussion began more than a year ago. Was this issue resolved? Can you now open multiple window in Teams? Really need this feature.

    Not yet.  MS does now allow for Chats and meetings to be in their own windows, but you still can't have multiple windows open for he main app. :(
