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?

Yes this works for me too.
Press Tab, then click on "..." (from the tools bar below the text input box), Press ESC, then shift tab
This works! Thanks
So even after more than a year this problem is still there. It is so annoying. I did a typo. wanted to use the arrow keys.. not workinig. i mean ****... something so easy and it just does not work. incredible.
Wow, that actually worked for me. I JUST had the issue and found your response. THANK YOU!!!
the quickest workaround for me is to click on "pop out chat" at the top right corner and continue the chat from there...
I have the same problem. Started noticing it a lot recently (Feb 2022). Two different keyboards, one wireless, one wired; one Logitech, one Dell. Obviously a Teams issue since everything else works fine. Ridiculous that this isn't fixed yet, and that as far as I can tell MS doesn't even chime in.
