New teams app is extremely slow to start on Mac
The new version of the Teams app is extremely slow to start it can take up to 1-2 minutes to get it running and join a call, why is it so slow? It wasn't like this before, and now I need to prepare a couple of minutes before joining a meeting because it takes such a long time to start. Is there any solution, do you plan on optimize the app?

Same here. I have a MacBook Pro M4 Pro (24 GB RAM), and Teams is by far the slowest app to open. Even PowerPoint was visibly faster than Teams. I think it must be how teams manage resources on Mac, but I am not really sure. Maybe you can expand the Teams app because it's made using Electron, and there you could make some changes? Not really sure, but teams also may take a good amount of RAM because it has other apps in it as well.
- I have the same issue. I have tried uninstalling new MS Teams as well as clearing all the MS teams related files and caches in my profile Library fold and reinstalling with no improvement.
I've tested startup times and the MS Teams classic take ~10-15 seconds to start up where as new MS Teams take over 60 seconds to start up.
I am using an i9 MacBook Pro with 16Gb of RAM.Same issue, I went back to old Teams and its working much better.

Did you find any other solution? I am having the same issues with the new teams application when connected to a docking station. The client is very slow, while the old client is fully functional.
