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

    Still an ongoing problem. I've been using Teams exclusively in a browser for months of 2021.

    Today I was in a TEAMS meeting. The Are you still there pop up box shows up. The thing is, I'm still connected to audio, discussing topics with other attendees. I click I'm back, only to have the tab re-load. I'm kicked out of the meeting and it reloads to the MS Teams Chat interface. Useless. Now I go back to the calendar & relaunch the meeting..wait...wait.. click click... re-join. *sigh*

    As others stated, this behavior is different than previous months.

    This is not what we signed up for. Fix it.

    Katherine, 

    (I am not Microsoft) but have the same issue as you. The issue shows up when you have 3 or more browser tabs using MSTeams. The fact that the MS Teams desktop app now allows the conference call to be a separate window has reduced the need for me to use more than 2 tabs. If you really need to have more than 2 MS teams browser tabs open, I suggest you to use 2 separate browsers.

    Hope this helps. 

    Carlos

    I have this as well, with Edge Chromium. I was setting up various Team Channels as Progressive Web Apps, but every time I switch from one to another I get this pop-up.

    Hopefully Microsoft can fix the issue here given that it has been happening for over half a year.  It is hugely beneficial for me to have 3 teams tabs open with separate spreadsheets in and the current bug with the "are you still there" prompts makes it unworkable.

    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.
