    rmhartman,
    I just tested the True Full Screen for Screen Sharing function and it does give you a True Full Screen. Some Control Functions are maintained in the small User Image Window which can be repositioned easily.

Microsoft did mention this in the Message Centre Post about the new Meeting Experience

Know limitations:

Meeting notes will launch to the main Teams client
Support for full screen content viewing will be coming in the future
Support for Invision Freehand Whiteboard will be coming in the future

So it will be coming in the future.

 

Like with many things the decision to ship without it will have been agonized over, say it would take another 3 months to build Full Screen into the new experience, would you rather not have pop out meetings for 3 months while waiting? You can always turn off the new experience for the next 2 months and stay with the existing Full Screen option.

 

If you want to tell them why it's important that this is sooner rather than later I would recommend doing so through UserVoice https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/

i don't understand why they will need extra 3 months to build the Full Screen Feature that is already in the current version?

    It is insane that MS Teams lacks a fullscreen mode when using separate windows for a meeting. I can't believe Intel Corp (my employer) bought into the MS Office 365. Every other new feature has 1 step forward, 2 steps back 20 or 30 years in intuitive user-experience and functionality.
