    DreamsatHi, you don't have to worry about that.

     

    • 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)

No worries. Did find this btw https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/get-a-preview-of-new-meeting-features-04533e91-3203-4530-a1c0-8f77c0731699 (so at least some official info it's going default).

    TyBower  I noticed this, too.  Is there another way to shut off the New Meeting Experience setting?

    I'm extremely displeased with the most recent update to Teams. They broke the true 1:1 full screen function when the "new experience" was introduced. They promised to fix it, and provided a feature to disable the new experience. Well, the full screen never got fixed and now the setting to disable new experience is gone. I'm deeply angered by this. They should at least leave the option to turn off new experience until they've provided a working full screen (like they promised over half a year ago).

    Hopefully you're right. Losing the ability to go completely full screen takes away from the immersion of a more personal experience.

    Edoardo777 Agree. I have version 1.4.00.4167 (64-bit) and am no longer able to disable the new experience. I guess it is now the current experience. Hopefully they will re-introduce true full screen in some future, newer experience.

    I have some serious problems with the new meeting experience: it doesn't allow me to see the shared screens during the call. Yesterday i could just go in the options and turn it off, but today i noticed the option is not present anymore, I guess they made it a default feature (even though othere colleagues still have the option and the chance to turn it off or on), this is terrible.
