Teams - Manage conversation windows and multitasking in Teams Tutorial

Open a private conversation or a channel in a new window to multitask in Teams. The transcript shows how to use the three-dots menu to choose Open in a new window, then move, resize, or place the window beside the main one. You can keep a project channel, a private chat, and the main Teams view open simultaneously, allowing you to reply, view files, and monitor posts without navigating away. This creates independent workspaces for parallel collaboration.

This feature is useful when you wanna continue exchanging with a colleague

00:00:12

while keeping another conversation

00:00:14

channel or document open in the main team's window.

00:00:18

For example,

00:00:19

if you're viewing a file or following a post in a channel,

00:00:23

you can isolate a private conversation in a new window.

00:00:27

This allows you to respond to your colleague

00:00:30

without losing context of what you were doing.

00:00:33

To open a private conversation in a new window,

00:00:36

first go to the conversation in question

00:00:39

at the top right of the screen,

00:00:42

open the more options menu

00:00:44

represented by the three dots.

00:00:46

From the menu that appears,

00:00:48

select open in a new window.

00:00:51

Teams then opens that conversation in a separate window.

00:00:55

You can move it around your screen,

00:00:57

resize it,

00:00:59

or place it next to the main window.

00:01:01

The conversation remains active

00:01:04

and you can continue to send messages as normal.

00:01:08

This function can also be used from the channel list

00:01:12

in the left pane,

00:01:13

move to the desired channel,

00:01:15

then open its menu with the three dots,

00:01:18

then select open in a new window.

00:01:21

The channel opens separately,

00:01:23

allowing you to follow their post without leaving your main workspace.

00:01:28

The advantage of this organization is to be

00:01:30

able to work on several elements in parallel.

00:01:33

For example,

00:01:34

you can keep a project channel open in one window,

00:01:37

a private chat in another,

00:01:39

and continue to view teams in the main window.

00:01:43

Each window functions as an independent workspace

00:01:47

so you can follow a chat,

00:01:49

reply to a message,

00:01:51

view a file,

00:01:52

or monitor a channel without having to

00:01:54

constantly navigate between different sections of teams.

00:01:58

In short,

00:01:59

opening in a new window allows you to better organize your workspace.

00:02:03

It's especially useful when you need to collaborate with multiple people,

00:02:08

track multiple conversations,

00:02:10

or keep a document visible while continuing your conversations in teams.
