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 n...

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.

- jm_32Mar 17, 2021Copper Contributor[Microsoft] Please just give users back the option of single or multi-window experience. The code is there to allow it, so it shouldn't be difficult. Just please your users.
- merlinpattSep 09, 2020Copper ContributorWhere in settings is this? I don't see this as an option anywhere.

- merlinpattSep 09, 2020Copper ContributorThanks! Although from what you said earlier (Experiences are enabled by default and user controls are no longer available), it sounds like this will not be optional, which is a terrible design decision.
The code is already in the platform to make it optional as evidenced by this discussion. So there is no good reason to get rid of it. There must be other people who want single window Teams.
