Teams is KILLING my Mac Every Day
I have a hard time believing I'm the first person to post this after not finding anything in the forum. I wouldn't doubt if Microsoft is deleting them because they can't figure out how to fix this i...
Hi everyone, we're pleased to announce Microsoft Teams for Apple Silicon, which on the M1/M2 ARM builds, will have significantly faster performance than what's seen during the Rosetta emulation today! Here's our official roadmap ID for this release; Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365. More on this can be found here; Announcing Microsoft Teams optimized for Apple silicon - Microsoft Tech Community.
Users should see a significant performance boost with this release. And for the Intel Macs out there, we're still thinking about you! We have some large performance fixes coming that will help improve overall performance for the Intel version as well.
Thanks,
Sam Cosby, Teams Engineering PM
Using teams on my previous intel Macair (purchased new on March 2020) was dreadful and exactly as described by others in this thread. Using teams on a new macair with the M1 chip (purchased mid 2021 in a desperate attempt to solve the teams issue) is excellent… runs smoothly. I also have 16Gbytes ram in my M1 by the way. I have never heard the fan on the new machine, and it’s battery life is incredible (uses ~10% over first three hours of use). On the previous macair the fan would run continuously whilst running teams.
Hi Keith,
Good to read that it does seems to work better on newer Macs. But not in the situation now to update macbook just for Teams. As for never hearing the fan on the new machine. I believe Apple removed the fan from the new Macbook Air with M1 chip. Not sure how they cool it though.
