Pop-out chat window missing

With the recent update, has anyone else noticed that the pop-out chat window was removed for (multiple) users on Zoom Workplace 7.0.5; not present in right-click menu nor in-chat … menu; If you recently updated your version, it disappears after application restart.   :(

Yes, we're seeing the same behavior after upgrading to Zoom Workplace 7.0.5. The pop-out chat option disappeared from both the right-click menu and the in-chat menu, and it does not return after restarting the application.

From what I've found, this appears to be related to Zoom's new Chat experience introduced in version 7.0.5. Zoom's documentation notes that the ability to pop out chat windows "will be introduced soon," which suggests the feature may have been temporarily removed or is not yet supported in the new interface.

You're definitely not alone—other users have reported the same issue since updating to 7.0.5 and are hoping Zoom restores the functionality in a future release.

Ditto. Bit peeved it’s missing. Incredibly useful for managing multiple chats simultaneously.

I hope it returns.  My only suggestion was to open multiple windows to have separate chats, my boss already freaks out when he sees the number of windows I have open. 😆 Doing support, you need to have several chat windows available. Please Zoom support, bring it back soon!!! 😁
