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 clever "click in textbox/Tab/right/left/shift-tab" trick someone helpfully posted below works for me sometimes, but not others. Only quitting and restarting Teams completely always works here. I have to do this many times a day. It is very irritating....
Same here. It seems come come out of nowhere and random.
How are we in October and this issue still hasn't been fixed?
It's a bug of Microsoft Team. Just fixed it. Don't tell user that it was their PC fault.
I have never encountered this problem until just recently. Rebooting the app didn't resolve the issue but rebooting my system did. woot.
The thing that I was doing prior to the problem occurring was trying/learning to type an accent mark over an 'i'. I'm on a mac that has very nice combinations of keystrokes to get achieve the special characters. In this case, option+'e', then 'i'. Nice.
But before discovering the correct combination, I was sorta pounding out various guesses on my keyboard with no success. Lots of modifier key combinations. I was getting a lot of random behaviors! I still don't know exactly why this issue started happening though. I'm guessing I either turned something on (or off) or Teams just didn't like my keyboard mashing. I didn't notice any Accessibility features being on at the time either.
Anyway, hope it helps.
