SUMMARY
Sadly I have to use MS Teams for school, and I do so with the Flatpak package from Flathub (com.microsoft.Teams). However when launching this application, the shell completely freezes. The panel can not be interacted with anymore, the clock widget doesn't update the time anymore, and the background can not be interacted with either. Even the application launcher, in my case the fullscreen dashboard, doesn't pop up anymore when I press the hotkey for it.

Individual applications keep on working fine however, and so does latte-dock. I can also still switch workspaces using the configured hotkeys.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install com.microsoft.Teams from Flathub
2. Launch it
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Plasmashell including any panels, widget and desktop completely freezes

EXPECTED RESULT
Everything to continue working as normal

I have since reinstalled my desktop where this was happening, and I can not reproduce this. Closing as such.
