MicrosoftHi all,
Thank you for your patience while this fix progressed through our release pipeline. I'm glad to share that this issue is now fixed and should no longer be impacting when a presenter shares/stops sharing. Please ensure you have the latest client by checking for updates, and do report back or "Give Feedback" in the Teams client via Help>Give Feedback to let us know if you continue to see any issues. Thanks!

Hello Emily, Now several months later it is still not fixed.
To elaborate again:
If any chat in Teams receives a message, which happens every few seconds in a busy Teams the Teams takes focus away from other applications. Which is especially annoying if one is typing or in a fullscreen application as it is the equivalent of alt+tab each time.
I have no idea how people are working like this.
Can you please verify that you are still working on the issue?
