Updated July 7, 2026: We have paused release to GA at this time. We will communicate via Message center when we are ready to proceed. Thank you for your patience. [Introduction] We are improving the Microsoft Teams meeting experience when the active meeting window is minimized. This update helps users stay engaged in meetings while multitasking across other apps. With this change, users can perform key in-meeting actions—such as raising their hand and sending reactions—without restoring the full Teams meeting window. Users can also choose between two different minimized views, depending on how much meeting context they want to keep visible while they work. This change does not affect the experience when users are sharing their screen in a Teams meeting. This message applies to Teams for Windows desktop and Teams for Mac desktop.
