Is Dave sure his password isn't Goldmine8 ? It looks a lot like people have perhaps inadvertently typed something into the chat.

That's what I was thinking- but a few people said they didn't type it.

lisalis1972 We are starting to see this too. But with a "%" sign. Person says they were not typing in the meeting chat, but there are multiple posts that are showing just that character. Has there been any updates from people this?
- Mike GalanteApr 07, 2021Copper ContributorHello, did you find out what might be causing this?
- Tina A GaravagliaApr 07, 2021Brass ContributorWe have not been able to pinpoint the issue. We have a case opened with Microsoft and are still working on it. We were told to try changing the setting in Teams for 'Open application in background' (enable it) to see if that helped. Did that and it seemed it may have helped some, but the problem still happens intermittently. We use another application for logging in and it seems that focus gets lost from that application when Teams is opening and it intercepts what you were typing. Our last suggestion from Microsoft was to uninstall/reinstall Microsoft Teams, but that is a bit harder to have a user do.
