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

I have exactly the same problem. When i click on 'i'm back' it reloads the page, and then almost instantly it says 'are you still there?'
As a result, i have not been able to do school. This problem needs fixing NOW
(I use chrome)

I'm on a Chromebook, running Chrome.
I only have two Microsoft tabs open, one for Outlook, one for Teams. Other non-MS tabs are open.
I've been running this way for a while.
I've never been able to open the Teams tab first, or, after an appropriate idle time, like overnight, the Outlook tab says I need to log in again, and I can't.
The solution has been to open the Outlook tab, log in, and use the waffle button ctrl-Teams to open Teams in a new tab.
Today, that doesn't work.
Outlook opens, asks for a login, challenges with the Two-Factor SMS, and brings up Outlook.
Opening the new tab to Teams doesn't work. I can't open it in an Incognito tab, either.
The message on screen is "To re-enable the application the tab needs to be refreshed." and a button that says "I'm back". Tapping the button, refreshing, clearing cache, nothing makes a difference.
I have Teams open on my Android phone, but I can't get it to open on the web on Chromebook.
(On Android, the Chrome browser isn't supported. It says I need to use the app.)
Just to be clear, just starting usihng the multiple window/tabs for Teams today. Previously, only was using the desktop instance exclusively.
