Microsoft Teams now supports the ability to pop out shared content (shared screen, PowerPoint Live and Whiteboard) into a separate window while in meetings.
Available to everyone in Public Preview channel.
To pop out content from meeting stage and use more monitors/screens during meetings:
You can pop in the window with shared content by closing it (by pressing "X" button). When the presenter stops sharing content, you can also click on "Dismiss" button which appears below a message in the pop out window informing you that content sharing has ended.
Note 1: If you need information about enabling the public preview itself, see “Enable the public preview for Teams” below.
Note 2: To be able to use this feature, users need to be in Public Preview. Users not in Public Preview will not be able to pop out shared content into a separate window.

Majority of modern devices with medium and high-end hardware will support popping out content into a shared window while in meetings. As Microsoft continues to fine tune the experience, there may be more support in the future for other types of devices with less performant hardware. Also, we will list the specific supported hardware configuration at GA.

Hi, I was hoping this "Pop Out" view would let me combine with the "Always on Top" functionality from PowerToys to create a Picture-in-Picture view for Teams. Unfortunately whilst close the Pop Out window has a lot of buffer around it making the PiP too large.
Is there any plan to slim down the Pop Out view? Ideally it would have nothing more than the screensharing window shown, no extra bars etc.

I agree. Maybe being able to hit "f" or Alt+Enter for full screen or having a windowed-borderless option. Not only would this facilitate a picture-in-picture style mode when combined with PowerToys "Always on Top", but it also means that in conference rooms and other areas that one can make the presentation full screen, much like if a PowerPoint Presentation was running locally.
Along those lines, it would also be nice if when NOT using the pop-out that the "Full screen" option in a Teams call made the presentation content full screen. Right now, the meeting controls pin to the top of the screen and participants pin to the side.
