pop-out chat by default

Would be great to always open chat in it's own window (popped out), instead of merged with main window. 

Opening it inside main window messes up window layouts.

Once you click the "pop out" icon at the top of the chat window and restart Zoom clicking chat should display the window popped out even in full screen mode.

This solution doesnt work for the first time you click chat in any newly started meeting. Start a meeting > select Chat > screws up the layout > choose chat popout > re-adjust the window > close chat > reopen chat and it is popped-out from then on (in the same meeting).

I believe what @matejuhasz was referring to was the FIRST time you select chat, it would be nice if it popped out by default.

 In the foggies of my mind, i believe it used to work like this in the 'old days'.   🙂

Hello. I'm trying to do this but when I go into zoom & char no pop out option appears 🙄. Any ideas gratefully received
