ft and right arrow keys have no effect in TEAMS BUT left-arrow + CTRL moves left one word, and right-arrow + CTRL moves right one word. So it is clear the arrow keys on the keyboard are functioning and sending signals to the computer. I also tried my laptop built in keyboard & the number pad. All have the same effect. What could be making the arrows by themselves not work? (Up and Down arrows work normally.)
1. Is it a laptop or desktop computer?
Laptop
2. What is the make and model of the keyboard?
HP laptop keyboard & logitech external
3. Was it working fine earlier?
Yes at most an hour before
4. Were there any recent changes made on the computer prior to the issue?
No. Maybe I inadvertently hit some hot key?

the quickest workaround for me is to click on "pop out chat" at the top right corner and continue the chat from there...
This happens with mine as well but only with the Docked Window. If I double click a person and have the pop out window or use the pop out icon in the upper right the arrow keys will work for me in the new window. The window docked with the chat history or contacts does not work unless I restart the program.
This problem still exists to this day (Windows 10). Microsoft I'm tired of your crappy softwares and of Bill Gates still advocating the ugly new world order and his **** gene therapy useless vaccines.
By the way, the other time I had a problem with the left and right keys in the Excel web application (and no that's not what you have in your head) and I think there is maybe a link to this Teams related problem. This problem has already disappeared but at the time I did test with several browsers.

You don't need to restart your PC. Restart Teams or tab to any '...' menu, open it and press Esc.
You also underestimate the amount of copium Microsoft managers have for anything Microsoft. They will downplay literally any error even if employees themselves complain about them. It's borderline like listening to an actually insane person.
We have moved to Slack in parallel because of all the problems with Teams in general, especially with guest users. Not had a problem yet with that software.
