explanation for non-techies**
Microsoft Teams is introducing a new feature that allows users to pop out Notes, Chat, and Copilot panes during meetings. This means that instead of being confined to the main meeting window, these panes can be opened in separate windows. Think of it like having multiple tabs open in your web browser. Just as you can drag a tab out to create a new window and place it wherever you like on your screen, you can now do the same with these panes in Teams. This allows for more flexibility and helps you keep an eye on multiple aspects of the meeting simultaneously, such as viewing the chat while taking notes.
The rollout for this feature is scheduled to begin in mid-January 2025 for targeted users and will be generally available by late June 2025. Once implemented, users will see a pop-out icon at the top of their Notes, Chat, and Copilot panes. Clicking this icon will allow the pane to open in a new window, which can be resized and moved around to suit your screen setup and meeting needs.
This change is automatic, so no action is required from IT administrators. However, it's important to inform users about this new capability and update any training materials to reflect the change. The Copilot pane, in particular, requires a Microsoft 365 Copilot license to access.
Overall, this update is designed to enhance productivity by giving users more control over their meeting experience, similar to how you might arrange papers on a desk to have everything you need within easy reach.
