Posted on January 14, 2021 by Madalina Dinita 1 Comment

If Microsoft Teams stopped responding to your mouse scroll, don’t hit your mouse against the desk. Instead, use the solutions you’ll find in this guide to fix the problem.

Quick Fixes

  • Log out and then sign back into your Microsoft Teams account.
  • Unplug your mouse and check the batteries and make sure they’re not weak or depleted.
  • Try a different USB port if you’re using a USB mouse.
  • If you’re using a mouse controller program, disable it. These tools may change your mouse behavior when you’re using Teams.
