Microsoft Teams - Pop out meeting window minimises when sharing screen

Hello,

I love that meetings pop out onto a separate window, however, when I share an application or one of my screens, the meeting window minimises. I understand this would be useful if I were working from a single screen, however i have 3 screens, one of which I dedicate to the meeting itself, so that I can still see all participants while presenting. However, when the meeting window closes I have to scrabble round to reopen it before I can continue. Some of my colleagues are able to pop out the meeting window without minimalizing. We have the same version (Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.4167 (64-bit)) and configuration. Could you please tell me what to do.

 
Thank you in advance

      Hello guys,
      today it's a big day. I have solved the issue with pop out meeting window. 

      Log off from teams should be enough. You find it in settings -> accounts -> Log off.
