14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft is working non-stop on refining the experience with Microsoft Teams, and even better is the company is focusing on absolutely all fronts at the same time.
So while it’s also developing new big features, Microsoft wants to polish Microsoft Teams in all regards, so it’s also working on smaller improvements and performance optimizations under the hood.
This time, what the company introduced is a small new feature that many are going to absolutely love.
This is because it allows users to open new chats in their very own dedicated windows from the very beginning, all without the need for any extra steps.
New chats in dedicated windows
Microsoft Teams already supported dedicated windows for the chats you created, but on the other hand, the implementation was necessarily the most convenient.
This is because users had to create a new chat, which was launched in the main window of the application, and only then they could just unpin this window to have the chat running in its dedicated interface.
Thanks to this new update, the whole thing is becoming a lot more straightforward, as users can just open new chats in their own windows by default. This means every new chat, from the moment you click on a contact to begin a conversation, opens in a dedicated interface without being integrated into the main app.
The feature is already live for Microsoft Teams users out there, though it’s not enabled by default. You can find it in settings under the General tab. Users are allowed to choose between opening new chats in the main window or in a new window, so simply select the way you want to use it and that’s pretty much everything you have to do.
The feature works on both Windows and Mac versions of Microsoft Teams.
