I am having issues with the "New" Teams screen freezing on shared screen when users switch screens

This issue happens everytime the person who is sharing the screen switches. Whenever the switch happens, the screen will freeze on the last image before the screen was switched to another user. The sound works still but the screen will stay frozen on that last image of the users screen. The only fix is to end Teams via task manager and it restarts the app and adds back to the call. This happens everytime the screen share is switched to another user. Not sporadic at all. The old Teams works fine but Teams keeps forcing me to the "New" Teams. This issue needs fixed. I have seen many other people online noting the same issue. I have updated all drivers and unistalled Teams and re-installed. Nothing fixes it. What is going on with this "New" Teams.

    Hi Paul,

    Thanks for contacting us and sorry for the inconveniences,

    Here are some suggestions you can try:

    • You can clear the cache of your Teams app. You can do this by following these steps:
      1. Quit Teams by right-clicking the Teams icon in the taskbar and choosing Close window.
      2. Cut and paste the following location into File Explorer: %appdata%\Microsoft\Teams
      3. Delete the contents of the entire folder.
      4. Restart Teams.
    • You can try using the Teams web app instead of the desktop app. You can access the web app by going to https://teams.microsoft.com and signing in with your account.

    Let me know if this helps or if you need further assistance.

    Regards, Sola

    Thanks, but already tried that. Still does the same thing. I use the App too much to use the online version.

    Hi again Paul,

    I understand some users prefer the app over the web, I suggest you use the feedback option in the new Teams to let the developers know this so they can work on it.

    Thanks and regards, Sola

    Hi,

    Teams has the same issue even on the web version. Can't really work effectively this way.
