Microsoft@Mansoor MalikThis was turned on at our institution right before this Fall semester started. While visually, it's nice, it is now a nightmare to teach! It seems to take up waaaaaay more computing power and my Surface Pro can't handle it. As soon as students go into channels and open video meetings, my computer freezes. I prepare ahead of time by closing as many apps as I can, which is a bummer as I sometimes need to access email while I'm teaching (e.g., students email me problems with attending or other things if they can't access the Teams app). I use OneNote while teaching and usually have trouble screen sharing or stopping screen sharing after these meetings start. This is hugely problematic for universities, as if these changes that would theoretically make the learning/teaching experience better are beyond the capacity of relatively privileged instructors like me, what is it doing to my students? Many struggle with getting the basic computer hardware together, so if these changes require more top of the line machines than most have, eek! Any suggestions to help, other than buying a new computer?
