I'm not sureif it was an update or something. But all of a sudden everytime I join a meeting, it pops out to a separate window. I really hate this since I usually minimize the window within teams to do other tasks. How can I make sure that it doesn't get split into 2 windows? I really can't focus with this, how do I make it go back to normal?

Hello SrikarMaddula,

My name is Veejay, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be glad to help you.

If you don't want to pop out the meeting in a separate window, you should disable "Turn on new meeting experience"

To do that:

Click on your Profile Picture > Settings > Under General Tab, Go to Application Section > Uncheck/Disable "Turn on new meeting experience". > Close Window.

After that, Restart Teams by right clicking on the Teams icon at the task bar > Quit.

Then start Teams app again.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concern.

Thank you

    Would Microsoft please give us a way to TURN OFF this annoying feature? I have a 43" monitor and when I take a Teams call the call opens in a massive window and blocks my other open windows. I have to resize the Teams call every single time. This is a huge annoyance.

    This is available but reverts on new conversation so is not much use.

    Thank you soo much, it worked. I somehow couldn't find the settings. No clue how that turned itself on but it's fixed now.

    It's very annoying since I keep switching windows, thanks again for the help! :)
