We can no longer have a team meeting/ call separate from the main Teams.
If I need to go to my chats, the meeting will reduce to a small box so I cant view teams chats and the meeting at the same time.
I also don't have the option to see all attendees cameras while someone or myself is presenting.
This "update" makes it extremely difficult to do our job now as we often need to have teams chats open and the meeting on another screen.
Is there ANY way around this? I went through all settings and did not find anything to have everything show the original way.
Below are the only options we now have in teams.
Below is an example of what I see if I click into Teams while in a meeting.

Hi @9akelly
The meeting screenshots here kinda looks like you are using the web app at https://teams.microsoft.com - accessed through a browser such as Chrome, Edge etc.
If you want to pop conversation and separate screens for calling you need to use the Teams Desktop App. This should be on your desktop and available via the Start Menu. You can also download it here
Download Microsoft Teams Desktop and Mobile Apps | Microsoft Teams
Hope that answers your question. Whilst the Desktop App and Web App are similar the desktop app has lots more functionality - the functionality you describe

Thanks for replying back.
Wow, that's weird. That meeting experience, with the bar across the centre is the current web experience but some time back was the old desktop experience - at least on Windows. Are you using Windows?

Hmm ok. I would run through the following
1.) Sign out of Teams and back in again and see if that resolves it.
2.) If not, Sign out of Teams and clear the cache: Clear Teams cache - Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Docs and then sign back in
3.) If not, uninstall the Teams Desktop App and Reinstall.
Can you confirm back if any of these manage to resolve it?

Hey there,
So I did all of the things above. I am still getting the same results.

Thanks for providing the screenshot, just tested, that is the minimised version of the meeting. Right Click on the Teams Icon at the bottom of the screen, you should be able to select the full meeting screen and the minimised version

If you hit the Share Button (between the mic and the phone) it should pop to being the full meeting screen too :) Just found that!

Thanks for that. Why not try the snap windows function. Shrink the windows (Teams App Window and Meeting Window) and drag them to the corners of the screens. Like this.
Otherwise, your case that you need to work on chat at the same time as watch and engage in meetings would necessitate a dual monitor setup. Use Teams app on one monitor and engage in the meeting in another

@9akelly Could this be a very old version of the Teams desktop client, if you go to About ... Version does it start 1.5 ....
Is it being used via a VDI solution like Citrix, VMWare Horizon etc. ?
