We will begin by discussing whether it’s possible to open multiple instances of Microsoft Teams. Next, we will cover the trick for running multiple windows of Microsoft Teams on different browsers and conclude by answering commonly asked questions about Microsoft Teams. Let’s get rolling!
Does Microsoft Teams Support Opening Different Windows?
Microsoft Teams offers a collaboration workspace for employees in an organocation, enhancing teamwork. Unfortunately, the platform doesn’t support running multiple windows. When you want to switch between different activities on Microsoft Teams, you must end one activity to run the other. For instance, you can’t be in a meeting call on one window and still respond to another Team on a different tenant. Having to end one activity to access another is frustrating, and Microsoft Teams is comfortable with that. Let’s hope Teams will introduce the shared channels feature in the future to enable access to different windows when using the application. So, is it possible to open different widows on Teams? The only trick involves utilizing a browser. The desktop application doesn’t offer any room for that.
How To Open Multiple Windows in Microsoft Teams
As noted earlier, you can only open multiple windows on Teams using a trick that runs on the browser. We will discuss two options using different browsers.
Using Microsoft Edge Browser
This example utilizes Microsoft Edge and Windows 10/11. Microsoft Edge supports Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), enabling installing native apps for Windows. You can open Microsoft Teams on the desktop app and click the installed native app on the taskbar to open another instance.
Using Chrome
That’s it. Another window of Microsoft Teams will open on your browser, and you can switch between the two windows to access your Teams account in real-time.
Conclusion
Microsoft Teams currently doesn’t support opening multiple windows. However, we’ve seen two ways of bypassing this and accessing multiple instances on your browser. Use the steps presented to open Microsoft Teams on different windows.
