I switched to "New Teams" about a week ago but since switching I am unable to move the window by dragging the title bar. I can resize, but dragging on the title bar does nothing:

I'm using Windows 10 Pro 10.0.19045 with a multi-monitor setup. I've done multiple restarts and had a windows update since starting to use it and the issue persists.

I had this issue until I installed the latest webview2 runtime installer (using the evergreen standalone installer). https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-edge/webview2#download-section

Teams uses WebView2 and my guess is that if you installed an older version teams would try to use this version - but if you had never installed it before it would install the latest for you.

About 6-7 of my colleagues had the same issue, and after installing the evergreen webview2 runtime on each affected machine they all work normally now.

Hello,

If anyone happens to get the same issue and nothing helps - reinstall WebView2. That's how I fixed it.

Take care

    Hi,

    I experience that issue in the same way.

    I have installed 23285.3604.2469.4152, but I'm not able to move the window at all.

    Currently I'm not able to figure out, what could be the possbile reason.

    But as an early adopter I have to test the new Teams for our company.

    Most people moving to new teams have failed to notice a small pop up that appears prompting to allow or block the teams app from interoperability with the desktop. Left alone, it will default to block, which then prohibits you moving the window.

    I reset new Teams via the Windows settings (in the Teams app settings), saw the request after resetting and restarting Teams and allowed Desktop interaction.

    Still same issue, Window still cannot be dragged.
