TM221283 Users who are given control by a presenter during a Microsoft Teams meeting are unable to control the screen
"Depending on how impact is presenting itself for your organization, there are workarounds available. If no mouse or keyboard actions are working, users may click on one of the side rail items (such as Chat, Teams or Calendar) and then return to the meeting screen to mitigate impact. If a user has issues controlling the top of the screen, the sharer needs to move the shared app (such as a web browser or the Outlook client) down 40 pixels to mitigate the impact."
"We've determined that a recent service update is causing the problem."
"Our telemetry suggests that approximately three percent of meetings may experience impact."
