M365 Changelog: Teams Help App Pops Out by Default

MC517333 – In Teams, the Help app provides Teams guidance and support content. Previously, the Help app opened in full screen mode, filling the Teams window. With this update, Help will open as a pop out, in a separate window. This experience will allow users to view help content alongside what they are working on in Teams.

When this will happen:

Microsoft will begin rollout in early March and expect to complete rollout by late March.

How this will affect your organization:

The Help app can be accessed from the question mark icon in the app bar, on the bottom left side of the Teams application. When a user selects ‘Topics’, ‘Training’, or ‘What’s new’, the Help app will launch in a separate window. The pop out feature is available for Teams on desktop only, not Teams on web.

What you need to do to prepare:

There is nothing you need to do at this time to prepare for this feature. Microsoft recommends you update any relevant training documentation as appropriate.
