Hi, what Vasil wrote above will be the default with no check box option. The change was about to rollout end of last year but has been delayed.

ChristianBergstrom This isn't really a good thing. It is adding one click to my workflow to get in and out of meetings. It's frustrating that this behavior is being forced without the ability to keep the old method.

There used to be a roadmap id and a Message center post describing the change. These are now gone, don’t know why. The only official info still out there (besides the blog post) from what I can tell is this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-a-preview-of-new-meeting-features-04533e91-3203-4530-a1c0-8f77c0731699- Terry_LawhonMar 19, 2021Copper ContributorI personally don't care about the "bigger picture". I have plenty of separate windows open at any one time. I REALLY don't need another separate window for a Teams meeting. If opting out of that feature means I don't have other "bigger picture" features, I'm okay with that. Let me decide!
