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

    Please revert this to allow you to disable the feature. The extra window is confusing, and the app takes up more resources with it open.

    Hello! 

    Like I said before, the "Turn on new meeting experience" option is now gone from the settings menu. 

    Any other ideas? 

    Thanks!

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