Multi-Window Chat support for Microsoft Teams was first announced last year at Ignite, and it’s one of the big new features coming soon to Microsoft Teams this Spring, along with the ability to chat and call with Skype users. Teams’ upcoming multiwindow capabilities will also allow users to pop out meetings, calls or documents into separate windows.

Microsoft Teams is one of the fastest-growing apps in the Office 365 ecosystem, and the software giant announced last week that it had reached 44 million daily active users. The app is seeing increased usage during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, and it’s good to see Microsoft focused on improving the messaging experience.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
