    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.

In my experience, 4 processes is standard for the latest Teams client and I'll am guessing more processes are spun-up as certain features are used.

 

Note: by default Teams runs in the background when the app is closed. You can change that in your profile settings "On close, keep the application running".
