Paul Cook Thank you for the feedback. Yes hybrid workplace and work from home is very top of mind. This has increased the demand for us to support a wider variety of network conditions and in some cases higher packet loss. We can simulate some of this in our labs and we generally look at the 95th percentile for perf metrics to factor in network impact and people who may be on lower end devices.
Petri-X Thank you for the suggestions. We do intend to add more transparency for improvements to performance and this is really the first blog to start that dialog. Memory, especially for low end devices (4GB memory), is an area we would like to improve, and the cache is a part of this analysis. Signing out and signing back in will clear the cache today but I understand that is not obvious to everyone and there is opportunity to be more elegant. Your comments remind me of the earlier days of Windows when we all would run the defrag process to organize storage and then over time Windows handled this for us in a much more graceful way. I would very much like to have Teams self-heal if the cache ever becomes corrupted or bloated.
