How do I get single window mode back?
- Sep 09, 2020
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.

- 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.- jm_32Mar 08, 2021Copper Contributor
Removing the option to allow us the single window mode is an extremely poor design decision. Forcing the user into unfriendly UX is something microsoft should stop doing. this is what "Options" are for. This is similar to forcing the theme change, with a light grey background makes it hard to see and read. Give us back the themes and features we like, dont force us into changing apps.
