Teams Screen Share causes Mac to crash/freeze

Copper Contributor

I used my Mac to Screen Share via Teams on an external screen. This session lasted about an hour. After closing that meeting, my Mac froze. Cursor would not move and keyboard was not responding.
Tried disconnecting of external monitor and power cable multiple times.
Finally running out of options, we had to do a Power Reset. That solved the problem.
Issues happening after Teams Screen Sharing are being seen bit too frequently.

What version of teams were you using and do other users have a similar issue?
