How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Teams keep crashing

Literally Teams will crash 5 or 6 times a day. Hugely annoying and unproductive. The user experience and reliability is so poor I am surprised Microsoft has even allowed this to go out the door

    Initially we were using a complex troubleshooting method of going into the users appdata folder and removing files and folders regarding Teams. Then we progressed to just going into the app properties, right click on the icon, and checking under the Compatibility tab the options to Run in Compatibility mode and Run as administrator. We kept seeing failures, so we found that just right clicking the icon and selecting Troubleshoot Compatibility fixed it much easily. Close the app and find the desktop icon, right click and select Troubleshoot Compatibility. Select Try Recommended Settings, Test and Save the changes. Close the troubleshooter and open Teams.

    This thread is talking about 2 different things:

    A) a bug is being reported, about a crash/screen freeze

    B) a feature is being solicited. A webex-like way for a presenter to lock what is being seen by the audience, while he can operate the computer.

    I experience the same problem. When I use ppt in presentation mode, it freezes for the audience. I continue passing the slides, and the audience only sees the first slides.

    I have been looking for this feature.
    Freezing shared screen would be great!

    I am seeing this issue with our Lenovo T and P series laptops accompanied with a Gen 2 USB-C docking station.

    There's a beautiful workaround for this that I came across on reedit.

    Go into DEVICE MANAGER

    Scroll down to Sound, Video and Game Controllers (expand)

    Double Click "Realtek Audio"

    Click Driver Tab

    Click Update Driver

    Click Browse My Computer for Driver Software (Locate and install driver software manually)

    Click "Let me pick from a list of available drivers on my computer"

    Select "High Definition Audio Device"

    Click Next

    A pop-up will state "Installing this device driver is not recommended because Windows cannot verify that it is compatible with your hardware..."

    Click Yes to the pop-up

    You will receive a screen that states "Windows has successfully updated your drivers"

    Click Close

    Click Close again

    @Microsoft, please escalate this issue. We are getting multiple staff complaining about this and there is not much we can do about it. Need a fix for this ASAP

    This is functionality available (and very useful) in webex
    Many times while in a discussion about a topic, it is useful as presenter to search for content related while not showing the audience the search process.

    My comment would be the same as Anonymous on June 30. That is exactly the situation. I want to leave up a powerpoint slide for the students but then still be able to go use my computer for other things.

    * I just got notified that my issue was "merged", but this isn't the same as the issue above.... :-(

    This is also happening for me. Nothing that support can do. Hopefully this gets resolved in a patch
