Microsoft Teams new calling and meeting experience
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.
David Phillips Hi David, are you using per-machine or per-user installation? Perhaps you need to uninstall and reinstall (or just a good old sign out / sign in) 😉

ChristianBergstrom Per-user. We've rebooted multiple times, checked for updates, etc.
David Phillips OK. Then it should be automatically updated at least. Perhaps it isn't supported. I'm not that familiar with Teams for VDI, maybe one of the MVP's know more about it as they are involved with the product team LinusCansby adam deltinger
- Can the new experience feature be turned on for VDI clients yet? I too have users who have it on their physical device, but not on their VDI.
- I’m afraid not https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/teams-for-vdi#calling-and-meetings
