Teams Bug - Limits Internet Bandwidth
- It is a known issue that Teams client uses a large amount of resources for many computers. This is on the roadmap for resolution. You can increase your RAM. Yet, it does not affect your internet connectivity.
OK, a final proof if I needed one, my network has behaved all weekend, but I had to attend a Teams meeting that a customer organised today.
As soon as I opened the meeting, the ethernet speed dropped.
I killed the Teams app afterwards, then the two windows processes, but speed stubbornly stayed low.
So, I uninstalled the Teams App from the system … et voila… my bandwidth returned.
I am paying a separate fee for Teams, so I do I reinstall?
… decide tomorrow.

mdevilleuk I have exact the same issue recently. The net speed drops to 5-8Mbps while I have 300Mbps normally if I close/quit Teams. Once Teams is running, the bandwidth was down to less than 8Mbps. Closing it can recover the speed. Very frustrating.
I have tried the new MS Teams and it didn't have trhis issue. But my organizatrion has not approved that version.So for those of you who can update, just install the new MS Teams!!
You can install the new one while keeping the classic one. You can switch back if you want anytime.
This is the only solution I found now.
- Hi, just found the solution (at least for my Lenovo laptop) here:
It was 'peformance boost' feature in Lenovo Vantage. Turning it off will solve the problem.
Please give it try. (Also other brands may have similar feature.)
