    Hi MichaelFLETCHER-2762!
    Does anyone else have the same issue?
    Did this user give a control to you when sharing his screen with you in Microsoft Teams?
    If you said yes, please make sure this user is using French keyboard.
    Besides, we also recommend you check if your client has selected preferred language and region. For more details about how to set it, you can refer to:

    Same issue here.

    Sharing screen between to mac, both with french keyboard. Whenever a colleague try to take control of my screen, or when I try to take control of his screen, we end up with a qwerty keyboard configuration.
    We've checked the settings and we have the client set to French for both app language and keyboard.
