I moved the build output box to its own window. How do I move it back?

I had the Output box set to show underneath my code. I accidentally pulled it out from there and it became its own window. I can close the window and go to View, click Output, and it comes back, still as a window! How can I set it back?

All windows within Visual Studio are dockable. You need to find the sweet spot for where the overlay menu shows up allowing you to dock your window in a certain position.

Drag the window towards the bottom until this overlay menu shows up, then choose the bottom position and it will dock below again.

Grab the output window and drag it back over visual studio, you should get a bunch of visual helpers that pop up to help you dock it back in place where you want it.
