Microsoft Teams Black screen
- Mar 04, 2021
A solution that works for me and does not require computer restart:
1. Hit `Win+R` to open a console prompt.
2. Kill all processes that have teams in their name with this command:taskkill /IM "teams*" /F
3. Launch Teams.

IT also seems to work to find the teams in the notification area, right click and choose "quit" and then restart teams

Support Recently had this Teams screen goes black problem on my laptop - while plugged into a docking station, and in a Teams call, the screen would go black. Teams is still running but of course it's impossible to get it onto the other screen or do anything. Sometimes closing the lid worked. Other times not.
This bug has persisted for over a year. Don't you think it's time you fixed it!
