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.

    To anyone still having an problem with the Team window share freezing during a call is to change your graph settings so that the fresh rate is below 60hz. I set mine to 59.9Hz and found the screen share was much more stable. I have Win11 so it was easy enough to change in the Display > Advance Display settings.

    Having this issue as well. All the UI icons are locked. If I try clicking them, I get a popup saying the windows for Teams aren't responding, asking me if I want to Wait or Kill the windows. Screen share doesn't present. The only thing that continues working is the audio feed. This only recently started happening to me (last couple weeks).

    I'm on macOS Sonoma 14.4
