There is a blue box in the bottom right of my screen

After getting Teams, I kept seeing a blue box in the corner of my screen. Here is a picture of it:

Does anybody know what it is or why it is appearing?

My name is Ru. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

Can you go to the task manager > Processes > then right-click on "Windows Explorer" and click restart?

If the issue still persists would you be able to uninstall teams and restart your PC to install Teams again?

My administrator disabled task manager, so that will not work.

Looks like that Purple box is getting in the way. An Add-on or background service might be running within Teams that isn't displaying correctly. 

Could be a bunch of things;

1. Check for a Teams update? or get your admin to repair the install?

ii. You may be able to close the "purple box" if it's shown when you press Windows+Tab (or Alt+Tab)

C. From the system tray (behind the purple box) you can right-click on the Teams icon and Quit. Then restart the application.

If it's a display issue, you could try;

  Checking your system display settings (right click on desktop), if scale is 100% and it's still there, then

  Toggle Disable GPU acceleration on/off within Teams settings

I keep on seeing the same blue box. It started showing once I started using a 4K external display that is configured at 150% scaling.

The one way I found to get rid of it is use Task View (hit WIN-TAB) and than an X appears next to the blank blue box - click it to close the box.
