Last year, Microsoft Teams introduced the ability topop out chats, apps, andmeetingsinto separate windows. The company is apparently planning to expand this functionality to live events in Teams. TheMicrosoft 365 roadmapsuggests that the feature is currently under development, and it’s coming in mid-May.

Multi-window support for live events was originally requested on theMicrosoft Teams UserVoice forumback in July 2020. Currently, producers manage the live events within the primary window of the app. It’s a bit annoying for users, forcing them to switch between different windows multiple times.

Fortunately, the company is aware of this limitation, and it’s finally working to address this problem. With this update, producers will see a separate window experience for managing events in Microsoft Teams. The new window will offer all functionalities and features that are currently available in the in-window user experience.

The ability to manage live events in a dedicated window should make it easier for producers to spread their workflow across the desktop and it should help them to effectively manage their event. If you have yet to try live events, we remind you that Microsoft hasextended the temporary limit increase for Microsoft 365 live eventsuntil June 30, 2021.
