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.
