can't find option for full screen after update

    rmhartman,
    I just tested the True Full Screen for Screen Sharing function and it does give you a True Full Screen. Some Control Functions are maintained in the small User Image Window which can be repositioned easily.

rmhartman So why did you go to settings, turn it on, then restart Teams? It seems popular.

 

Reverse that process and you'll be back to how you were. Full Screen in the new experience is coming soon, my personal guess is it'll be here well before the old meeting UI is depreciated.

I didn't.

 


I was prompted on starting teams that there was a new experience, and check the box to turn it on.  There was literally no explanation about what the new experience might be.   I figured an upgrade is an upgrade and turned it on.

Pop out meetings -- I don't see what the big appeal is.

Full screen gone -- big minus.

And it took me a long time to find a forum where somebody could tell me what to disable to make things right again.

    Don't know exactly what you saw but in Settings it states what the New Experience is.  'Pops out chats and calls in a new window'.

     

    But I admit it is still a little vague as to what you are going to see or how the controls now are presented.

     

    My problem with it was seemingly the Option was checked by default as I didn't remember checking it myself.  One strange thing too is I have two computers with Teams on both and they are different versions numbers yet Teams reports that both are on the latest Update and both have different update dates.
