Move around during a TEAMS meeting

  1. While in a meeting, select outside the meeting. For example, reply to a message or check the latest activity.

    The meeting window becomes a smaller window at the top of the app.

    Note: You always have access to the meeting controls, like muting or unmuting your microphone.

  2. Select the smaller meeting window to make it full screen again.

Multitasking in a Teams meeting

You can continue to use Teams during a meeting. Just click outside of the meeting, and you can check on what's going on in other channels or catch up on your messages.

Whenever you click away from a meeting, it becomes a smaller window at the top of the app. Click that window to return to your meeting in an instant if you need to.
