What’s New in Microsoft Teams Feature Spotlight – Pop out shared content in separate window

Hey Teams Community,

We’re discussing a new feature each week mentioned in the monthly What’s New in Microsoft Teams and this week we’re looking at the ability to pop out shared content into a separate window.

The pop out feature in Teams makes it really easy to keep multiple things open at the same time while collaborating. Previously, users could streamline their workflows by popping out individual chat conversations, meetings, and calling experiences into a separate window.

Now, users can pop out shared meeting content into a separate window. This allows users to focus on shared content while still being able to see the meeting participants.

I regularly pop out chats to review content between different colleagues and I can absolutely see myself using the pop out feature for shared content in meetings when others are presenting, especially when I’m using multiple monitors.

How often do you pop out chats or meetings into a separate window? Do you think this new ability to pop out shared content will help keep the flow of meetings?
