Updated July 7, 2020: To ensure the best possible experience for our users, we are delaying some of our deployments to reduce the amount of change flowing into the services.Please see the updated roll-out timeline belowWe are pleased to announce that we will be enabling users to be able to view meetings and calls in separate windows along with the other recently announced features.

This will roll-out OFF by default and users will have the ability to turn on the new experience via the user setting: General > Turn on new meetings and calling experiences.
Note: In the future we will enable this functionality by default, but we want to provide users extra time to become familiar with having meetings open in their own separate window. As we move forward we will provide more details via Message center.
Steps for Users to turn on the new experience:
Step 1: Click on Avatar on top right of Teams and click Settings.
Step 2: Check the Turn on new calling an meetings experiences check box and then restart the Teams client.
Note: To provide additional transparency we expect the new experiences to be enabled with the following timeline. This is subject to change and we will provide appropriate notice for each phase through Message Center as we approach July and August.
- June – New experiences are available and users can enable through settings.
- July – Experiences are enabled by default and users can disable through settings.
- August – Experiences are enabled by default and user controls are no longer available.
- July 22. Still nothing.....
tassenza we are seeing this as of today.
Have you checked your Teams settings -> General for the option the enable it?
- I am checking for updates and the settings toggle literally multiple times every day. No joy so far.
Very frustrating.
ChrisWebbTech Well, It's July 10 and still nothing. No guidance as to when it will be available or why it was delayed.

ChristianBergstrom How do i turn OFF this new pop out new meeting experience permanently so I don't have to select it every time I open teams and restart the teams app. Not a function I like or want to use
tassenza Why would you think? Teams releases features purely based on the passing certain testing gates, it'll only hit Ring 4 once Microsoft are confident it meets a suitable quality bar.
Why else wouldn't they release something, makes no sense.
StevenC365 Just looking for an update is all. They throw out dates for functional releases and we never hear anything else until after it is released, weeks or months late. The post from the MS admin says to stay tuned for updates in the next few weeks and about 7 weeks have passed with not one update at all. Set some expectations, it's a small ask, isn't it?
