Microsoft Teams new calling and meeting experience
- Jul 10, 2020
tassenza Here you go (partial copy from Message center).
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 message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID https://www.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&featureid=57294
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.

tassenza we are seeing this as of today.
Have you checked your Teams settings -> General for the option the enable it?
- Josh SullinsJul 23, 2020Brass ContributorI am checking for updates and the settings toggle literally multiple times every day. No joy so far.
Very frustrating.- Mrdotz1205Jul 29, 2020Copper Contributor
The New meeting experience in Teams from Microsoft seems to be in review mode.
However, individual users can force enable it.
Under Teams User profile, click on About, then click on Developer preview, accept the prompted term and sign in to Teams if prompted.
Now go back to settings and you will see the option for New meeting experience.
Note that this setting does not persist.
You may have to go through the steps again to enable the feature.
I hope this helps.
