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!
It is now February, 2022, and not only is this not fixed, it's gotten worse with recent updates. I have the latest Windows and Teams updates. I was typing a password in and Teams stole focus yesterday. This is a security issue and needs to be fixed. Not "it's fixed now" and then nothing, actually fixed.
Please, please take this seriously. It's not just annoying, it could cause actual problems for actual customers who are forced to use Teams. At this point I'm planning on installing Teams (and Outlook, which occasionally does the same thing with calendar reminders) in a VM and using them in a sequestered manner. I shouldn't have to do this. Nobody should.
