    And it seems to be fixed for me as of today! Maybe it's this Teams update from yesterday?

     

    You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.17563 (64-bit). It was last updated on 7/1/2021.

Here we are in the middle of 2023 - wishing there was an answer.

I share Monitor 2 and the main program drops into pop-out mode and jumps over to that screen, so I have to drag it back over where it was on Monitor 1. Confusing. Annoying. Unresolved.

    2026 and it's still an issue.  I have a 3 monitor set up:  2 externals and the laptop display.  I keep Teams on the laptop display and randomly I'll notice it's moved to one of the external displays.  Very annoying.

      Hope they fix it in the next surprise update that resets some other random setting I've had set for years LOL. I just noticed mine started doing this maybe a week ago? Maybe 2? I run meetings on primary monitor, but I always have the main client on a secondary monitor. 3 externals, no laptop display. July 2026. :( Now it always opens on primary. Definitely annoying.

    Also having the same issue since a long time.. I haven't seen such a downside for productivity from any chat app since a decade or so. I hope this gets fixed asap. I use Ubuntu and desktop Teams. Browser teams naturally does not have this bug as the window is handled by the browser, but desktop teams is necessary for some features to work properly.
