    I received an answer to this on a different forum (answers.microsoft.com) from Amanda Zhang, MSFT. 

     

    "Based on my experience, when running Microsoft Teams client on our computer, there are some background processes along with it. It is normal behavior, so you don’t need to worry about this. If you encounter any issue when using Microsoft Teams, feel free to post a new thread in our forum."

     

    So it looks like that is just what it is.  I will consider this answered and won't open a support ticket.

I've got 4 running, in addition to the main app.

 

Luckily I have 32GB ram, but now sure what they all are... see pic.

I don't know if it's related to having multiple copies running, but many users complain about Teams consuming too much RAM. Actually, it does also in my environments where unfortunately I don't have 32GB RAM (but only 2GB).
