3) Under Settings, go to General.
4) Under Application, tick on “Turn on new meeting experience (New meetings and calls will open in separate windows. Requires restarting Teams.)”. Restart your Microsoft Teams.
5) Join any Teams meeting or go to “Calendar” then click “Meet now” to create a meeting.
6) Once you are on the meeting room, click on the “…” (3-dots) button. Click on “Together mode” to activate Together mode.
