The feature is only supported for devices with specific hardware capabilities. Majority of modern devices with medium and high-end hardware will support popping out content into a shared window while in meetings. As Microsoft continues to fine tune the experience, there may be more support in the future for other types of devices with less performant hardware.

What you need to do to prepare:

You may want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
