Teams is KILLING my Mac Every Day
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
I'm testing a solution suggestion from another forum: in MS Teams Settings - under General, there's a setting "Disable GPU hardware acceleration (requires restarting Teams)". The suggestion is that this needs to be checked.
I didn't have a chance to test it yet during calls due to the holidays, but I'm giving it a try.
Andrea_N I have already tried that, it doesn't change anything, still hammers my MacBook.
Andrea_N This won't change anything. I've tried every single setting there is in the app over months and nothing did the trick unfortunately..
- It worked for me, I don't have the problem since I changed this setting.
