Calls are opening in separate window with no option to disable

Hello - My Teams is opening all calls / meetings in a separate popped out window and there is no option in settings to disable this.   This feature makes Teams very hard to use when utilising more ...

    I agree, this feature is a step back, and it is so frustrating. The option should simply be available, and instead it's straight up removed. Having my call window elsewhere works against my work flow, and adds more windows to my already strained work system. Trying to flip between the call and other discussions in Teams is slowed down, and the call window is huge and can barely be shrunk down. I can't even pop it back in.

    This option needs to be returned.

Unfortunately as of this morning that option has been removed and the awful new meeting experience is MANDATORY :(((((

Besides of the multi-window experience you obviously don't like, think of all great features it adds 🙂

    ChristianBergstrom What a stupid reply. "Besides our bad experience, we added other stuff that you may like" Why not give us both?

      Agreed, why comment on the features that we are clearly not for...

        LO9394 BGvdS1996 I get that you don't like the new meeting experience because of the separate windows, but no need being impolite as I'm a community member just as you are. I'm pretty sure they would keep the option if it wasn't for all the features that comes with it, don't you think? I'm not saying this or that, but have a look at what you get from using the new experience in comparison if not https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-a-preview-of-new-meeting-features-04533e91-3203-4530-a1c0-8f77c0731699 and breakout rooms wouldn't be possible either.

         

        As for the opinions you should really post them at https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/ instead as that's where they look. MS representatives (besides a few) don't usually read or follow the posts in the community.

      Hey, I don’t work for Microsoft. Can’t help if you don’t like the new meeting experience and what it brings and not.

      This new feature is such a bad user experience. Not being able to choose to have it off is even worse. Talk about Teams failing their users. Feels like a bit of a Snapchat moment...
