pop up box interrupts with "Are you still there?"

Anonymous

I have more than one TEAMS tab open at a time, and other tabs as well.  I will switch back and forth between tabs.  Sometimes, when I switch back to a TEAMS tab, even if I've only been off that particular tab for a few minutes, a box pops up saying "Are you still there?" and there is a button saying "I'm Back".  This is the only option to make the box go away.  Once I click on the button, the whole TEAMS site resets, and interrupts what I was working on.  I am having a hard enough time trying to figure out TEAMS, without having the program purposely set me back like this.  I want to pull my hair out.  How can I stop it from popping up like this?  Is there a setting somewhere that I can change?  

Thank you

    This is exactly my issue if I have a meeting open on one page and looking at a file on the other when I return to the meeting it reloads and kicks me out of the call.

    Rick ?  Anything ?  In a twist on George Costanza, "It's not me, it's you."  :) -- Just hoping a team at Microsoft is working on it...  Thank you.

    For me, the issue is not the popup, but it is the fact that it reloads the page (logging you out of calls etc)

    A prompt that when clicked continues with the same page without reload would solve the majority of the issues

    This is the way to consistently replicate this problem:

    1. Open 2 browser tabs (no matter what browser)

    2. Connect to MS Teams on each tab (no matter what section in MS Teams).

    So far so good - you  can use them and go back and forth between them with no problem. 

    3. Add a third browser tab and connect to MS Teams.

    The issue comes when you add a third browser tab with MS Teams. You can use the third tab with no problem but as soon as you go to any of the first two tabs you will get the "Are you still there?" popup. It wouldn't matter if you just had to press the button and keep going, but the issue is that it fully refreshes the web page, taking about 10 seconds and losing it's position. 

    Opening browser windows instead of tabs makes no difference.

    Rick, 

    I have the exact same issue. As a project manager I need to be able to display multiple sections of MS Teams during a conference call. Since I am using the MS Teams app already for video conferencing, I decided to open multiple Chrome tabs with different views of MS Teams sections (e.g. files, One Note, Planner). This worked perfectly because I could switch quickly form one tab to another without any impact on the conversation flow. Since about a month or two ago this popup started happening ("Are you Still there?"), no matter if I switch back after a few seconds.  I tested Microsoft Edge and same thing happens. The desktop client does not have this issue because you can't have multiple windows at the same time (unless I am missing how to do it). 

    I can consistently replicate the case if you want to contact me. 

    Thanks for your help.
