Calls are opening in separate window with no option to disable
- 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.
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.
Christian, regarding your comment: I tend to prefer fewer but more mature features. Having used Teams for about a year now due to the pandemy I have learned how to do certain things (and I am sure that this applies to other people in the same way). I am not interested in re-learning processes that are already productive for me. Breaking stuff that works for people is in general a bad idea.
I overreacted. I was impolite.
I thought you worked at Microsoft because I saw "Managing O365/M365 Apps & Services" on your profile. Still not a reason to be rude.
Sorry.
For me, the breakoutroom are a good addition, but for the features in that link, I fail to see why that wouldn't be possible without opening a new window.
My annoyance is mostly that it is forced instead of an option.- Fair enough. No worries!
