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...

    Out of all the currently opened threads, I think this one is the one that sums it up the best : 

    https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/40437682-need-to-be-able-to-open-multiple-windows-in-teams

    as it's not mentioning the need for "multiple chat", with the risk that it gets simply disregarded by the dev.

    Hopefully this thread is still getting some traffic through the search engines - if all unhappy people could align on upvoting one request (like this one above), that might help. 

    If that (or any similar request) never gets upvoted, I'll really start wondering what I'm doing on this app...

    Oh, c'mon. Another MS rush-developed, resource-hungry, and underperformed product. You crippled classic Skype to force using another underdeveloped product. Obviously, someone erased Your memory, what every basic product must have, to be usable. Sorry, the development team and Your SW architects act like a bunch of teenagers and maybe is time someone tells You that fact. Do something. Users begging for functionality, but obviously, You are unable to deliver solutions for users. It's better for You playing with yourself obviously and constantly bother customers with underperformed hollow UX changes.

    Way too many separate windows now... At least have the option to turn off the new meeting experience if we don't want to use it.
