How do I get single window mode back?

Teams seems to have auto updated and now meetings are in separate pop out windows. I don't like this. I want everything in one window again.

This kind of behavior should only ever be optional and not forced on the user. I don't care which is the default but it should be an option.

How do I get single window mode back?
  • merlinpatt Hi there, you need to enter the settings in Teams and leave this unchecked.

     

     

    As for being default this is the latest info.

     

    • New experiences are available and users can enable through settings. - Complete
    • Experiences are enabled by default and users can disable through settings. - Late September (previously August)
    • Experiences are enabled by default and user controls are no longer available. - October (previously September)

    So going forward this will be the new default if they don't decide to keep it as an option.

    I agree with the others who preferred single-window mode and want that ability back. I could restore the Teams window, along with the active meeting, with a single key chord before. I'd like to have that single-chord window restore made available again.

    I am really frustrated that with the latest update, no longer is there an ability to have a single-window mode. This is so stupid to force the users into the new tremendously inconvenient multi-window UX, especially when great (single window) UX was there, and was doing a good job.
    Please bring the ability to switch this feature in options back.

      This reply is no longer accurate. The option is now missing.

        I wrote that reply above almost 7 months ago. Now it's rolling out as default as they (Microsoft) have said for a very long time.

      Where in settings is this? I don't see this as an option anywhere.
