Overview
You can instantly pop out your one-on-one or group chat into a separate window via several different methods. Then, resize, reposition, or close the window as you wish. It’s a great way to get a lot done when you’re in a meeting or in a call. You can pop out multiple conversations, but not the same chat twice.
Note
You can pop out multiple conversations, but not the same chat twice.
Note
To do other things (like scheduling meetings, attaching a OneDrive File, adding apps, etc.) just return to the main app. You don't need to close the pop out chat window.
Note
The pop out chat feature is currently only available in the desktop app for macOS and Windows.
