It's simple and quick to pop out your one-on-one or group chat into a separate window. Then, resize, reposition, or close the window if you want to. It’s a good way to get more done when you’re in a meeting or in a call. (Note that you can pop out multiple conversations, but not the same chat twice.)
Tip: To do other things (like scheduling meetings, attaching a OneDrive File, adding apps), return to the main app to find those familiar features. You don't need to close the pop-out chat window.
Note: The Pop-out chat feature is currently available in the desktop app for Windows and Mac only. It's not yet supported for Teams on the web, Linux, or mobile.
