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...

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Unfortunately the linked User Voice case refers to the ability to pop out a chat window. This isn't the functionality I came looking for and it seems it's not for other users, either. A simple ability to open multiple windows of Teams is exactly what I'm looking for.
What is the status of this enhancement request? When I click on the link provided I receive the 404 Error message.
Indeed, it is cumbersome for example to open a file into the Teams environment, and then you just go to answer something in the chat, and sometimes the doc is gone, or when going back the screen is blank and you have to wait until de doc kind of loads again.
Docs should at least open in a separate "tab" or something similar.
Same with calls, no way to go back to another chat or see the files on any channel.
In addition to being able to have multiple chat windows, it is very challenging to attend a meeting and open a document in Teams. Downloading and working in it separately counters the ease of working in a shared document. If the meeting could pop out to another window and then screen, that would be helpful.
For God Sake, you still haven't fixed this. Its Just basic quality of life issues. your telling us to just use a workaround its been a year. Microsoft fix this.
