The current notification badge is misleading when you collaborate with multiple large teams and when you’re part of many groups. Is is possible to have an AUTOMATIC pop-out window whenever an incoming chat or a Teams call comes? I basically want to have the same experience as in Skype, someone opens a new chat with me, want to see a new window popping out AND flashing yellow (or some way to get my attention). The option is available for 1×1 chats with federated users in other Office 365 tenants and Skype consumer users. First, find someone you want to chat with in your chat list and either double-click a chat or select the Pop-out chat option from the menu or the fly-out icon (Figure 1). You can pop-out a chat window several ways. It’s also a popular request in Teams User Voice.

Microsoft is keen to emphasize that multi-window support enables users to multitask more efficiently by dividing work across multiple windows and “ more easily move between ongoing conversations.” In practice, the feature is particularly helpful when you need to keep an eye on a chat while working in another area in the client, such as viewing a document or composing a salient response to a topic in a channel. You can’t pop-out a personal chat in the Teams browser client. Pop-outs aren’t supported for channel conversations. Now, the desktop client can pop-out window for personal (1×1) and group chats and (soon) meetings. Since the introduction of Teams everything has been done inside a single multi-paned window and the only way to have multiple windows for Teams has been to create multiple browser tabs or windows. This feature will roll out in multiple phases (see section below). On May 9, Microsoft posted MC212453 to announce multi-window support for calls ( Microsoft 365 roadmap item 57294).

According to a clarification posted by Microsoft on March 23, they will “ provide support for Mac and Linux clients in the coming weeks.” The roll-out to Office 365 tenants begins in early April and should complete to all tenants worldwide by the end of May. Office 365 notification MC207218 posted on March 21 confirmed the news shared in Microsoft’s What’s New in Microsoft Teams 3rd anniversary edition announcement that the Teams desktop client has its first pop-out window, but only on Windows ( Microsoft 365 roadmap item 57292). My normal browser is Firefox 74 (64-bit).Updated May 10 with information about pop-out window support for meetings. I installed Skype for Business on my iPad and had no trouble connecting to the call that way. So I guess I can't use Lync for Mac on macOS Catalina. Contact the developer for more information.
#SKYPE FOR BUSINESS MAC CANNOT JOIN MEETINGS UPDATE#
The developer of this app needs to update it to work with this version of macOS. I tried the second option of using Lync for Mac, but when I try to run Lync I get this error: Could the plugin be incompatible with 64-bit macOS Catalina? If I try to join at this point I end up in a "Virtual Lobby" but I'm never able to advance from that point, presumably because the plugin is not working. Plug-in installation is taking longer than usual.
#SKYPE FOR BUSINESS MAC CANNOT JOIN MEETINGS INSTALL#
When I go back to the same page after installing the plugin, I am either prompted to install the plugin again, or I get this error message: I don't know which browser this is for, but I assume it should work in Safari. After installation I see a new plug-in in ~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins called SkypeForBusinessPlugin-15.8.bundle, so the installation is apparently successful. I can run this and choose to "Install for me only". If I enter my name and click "Join the meeting" my browser downloads SkypeForBusinessPlugin.pkg (md5sum = a4958d5aa5c7dbe17774bcd6e4492106).
Here's a screenshot of the screen I start with. But every time I try, it seems to send me in loops with the same prompts to install the plugin again and again.
Using my Mac I'm trying to join a conference call hosted using Skype for Business Server.
