Just had the weirdest experience with my #windows PC.
A client sent me a link to a #MicrosoftTeams meeting that i participated in via my #firefox browser.
In the beginning it was just me and one other person in the call, and everything was fine. As soon as the 3rd and final person joined the call however my computer kind of went haywire - it was as if the mouse was suddenly clicking on random places on the screen and opening up random apps. I had to really struggle to close things down and keep focued on the meeting.
It persisted even after I left the call, closed down the firefox window and had to do a hard restart of the computer to get it to stop, cause I couldn't even control the mouse to shut down normally.
Everything was fine again as soon as I restarted the system.
Anyone have any idea what might have caused this? And how to avoid it happening again?
