Microsoft Teams Freezes PC
- Sep 01, 2020
Sounds like laptop specs. Have you tried calls with camera off? Using background picture/blur or together more consumes more processor power and that Graphics combined with only 4GB of memory isn't a very powerful combination. It will result using your disk for more memory which usually adds up on freezing the system.
You can also try Teams settings "Disable GPU hardware acceleration" to see if it helps.
I've got the same issue on a desktop with 16 gb of RAM...so it's not just a laptop issue. I have the camera OFF by default. I've just turned off hardware acceleration to see if that has any effect, but I'm very doubtful that it will.
My only solution is to bring up task manager and kill Teams with Fire - then at least I can use my other apps.
MS needs to FIX this...and I've noticed they haven't even chimed in.
Batman66 alinc2003 , I have the same problem. Those guys said: " This laptop works best on Teams and is best for work with powerful performance!" Now look what I am on. Freezing and glitching. I recommend you get Chromebook because they have the Sweet performance and are work best with teams. Seriously.
