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

    Microsoft is being divisive here.

    1. Silent update.
    2. Removing the option to have the choice.

    I'm really finding the feature annoying.

    They have actually added a feature that is me making search for replacement software. Genius.

    To date, version 1.4.004167 (64 Bit) you can not disable this anymore. Super annoyed by the fact it's not an option. I don't need multiple windows of Teams open while working or on a meeting.

    In the last silent update, this workaround went away as others have pointed out. Minimizing the meeting window is a partial workaround but unfortunately the minimized window does not return with all its capabilities; something is obviously going wrong in the process (can't see shared screens, for instance; conversation opens but can't be closed).

    Please fix this!
