Images displayed on Teams will fail to show up in chats between users.
The issue is intermittent, so you may click on a image and it will load up initially but if you close it a few times or more, you will find either on the 3rd, 5th or 7th attempt to open the file, it will fail to open and displays a blank screen (attached a screenshot - please see this attached to the ticket).
If I click on another chat the display will return and I would have to go back to the original chat and try and reload the image and hope that it doesn't go blank.
In order to troubleshoot the following steps have been carried out:
1) Restart my machine and retry - same issue.
2) Sign out from Teams and close Teams and reload the application - same issue.
3) Check for updates - same issue.
4) Uninstall and reinstall teams - same issue.
5) Closed Teams and cleared the teams cache from %appdata%/Microsoft/Teams - same issue.
6) Ticket the option for Disable GPU hardware acceleration (requires restarting Teams), restarted Teams - same issue.
7) Tried to change file open preference setting to desktop app - same issue
I'm able to replicate this issue across another machine and I've experienced this issue on following versions of teams: 1.4.00.32167 (64-bit) 1.4.00.29469 (64-bit)
Please can I request some assistance?

Lai, Wilson 1 Reputation point2021-11-25T07:12:06.217+00:00 I have the same issue, clearing the cache usually works for me for 2-3 days then the issue comes back again.
it feels like whatever built in service Teams is using is to open the image file fails to run. the zoom in or out function & close button does not appear and just shows an empty frame

Morgan 1 Reputation point2021-11-26T12:26:49.66+00:00 I am on the same version and also get the issue intermittently but if you repeatably view the same image it occurs between 1-10 tries, the work around is opening the chat in a pop-out window which doesn't seem to have the issue.

JMS 1 Reputation point2022-01-24T20:06:15.807+00:00 I have the same issue. The only way I can get an image to open consistently is to pop out chat window and open image in there.
