Cant pop out meetings from teams chat
We can no longer have a team meeting/ call separate from the main Teams. If I need to go to my chats, the meeting will reduce to a small box so I cant view teams chats and the meeting at the same t...
We are on Windows 11 Enterprise
Hmm ok. I would run through the following
1.) Sign out of Teams and back in again and see if that resolves it.
2.) If not, Sign out of Teams and clear the cache: Clear Teams cache - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs and then sign back in
3.) If not, uninstall the Teams Desktop App and Reinstall.
Can you confirm back if any of these manage to resolve it?

Hey there,
So I did all of the things above. I am still getting the same results.Thanks for providing the screenshot, just tested, that is the minimised version of the meeting. Right Click on the Teams Icon at the bottom of the screen, you should be able to select the full meeting screen and the minimised version
Best, Chris
- Yes, the minimized screen is when I click into my main chat screen, that houses all chats. If I make the meeting/call large again it overtakes my main chat screen that houses all chats. Which is what the issue is.
I do not have the option any longer to separate a call/ meeting from the main chat screen that houses all chats. I have between 20-40 chats going at any given time, if I were to have them all pop out, I would have 20-40 teams windows open and that is excessive in my opinion.
Previously if I had a call or meeting, a completely separate window would open with that call/meeting, leaving the main chat screen that houses all open chats separate.
At this point, I am assuming this feature has been taken away? A handful of people at my company still have the "old version". When they have calls/meetings, a completely new window opens, they can see all participants in a meeting if someone is screen sharing. They don't have to worry about popping out 100 chats in order to still see a meeting.
I even went as far as having my internal IT remove teams all together and reinstall it to ensure there wasn't an issue on my end. I have read countless forums visited many sites trying to find a way around this but there seems to be no way around it.
I sincerely appreciate your time in trying to help me figure this out. But I am accepting this is my fate lol
