This is of course, an extension of the already existing "Multi account" feature that was released for corporate accounts a "couple of months" ago.

Pop-out meetings in Teams to be gradually rolled out

on
The already announced feature of popping out meetings to a separate window have received some updates. The feature itself will be rolling out, beginning early June.

These settings are available by clicking your avatar on the top menu, and select "settings". It seems like this will only be a temporary setting, and will be a default for all by the end of August.

  • July – Experiences are enabled by default and users can disable through settings.
  • August – Experiences are enabled by default and user controls are no longer available.
