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
shilocase I've experienced this as well - it also seems to lag even more when you have Sharepoint documents open in Office Apps. I have to reboot daily - sometimes multiple times while force quitting apps to do so because I'm seeing a beach ball and Office Apps won't close after a few hours of meetings in Teams and working in Office. My computer is painfully slow and my device is the prioritized device on my home network with fiber speeds. Even in video calls, my video will often stop and get lost.
I never have had these issues with Zoom and my productivity in Office has decreased greatly since we went exclusively to Teams for video calls. I spend at least 2-4 hours each week doing extra work trying to close and shut down apps/documents to reboot (often forced reboots) while working in Teams. It's probably the exact opposite of what creators intended when they connected Teams to all the Office apps. It's also a very frustrating user experience.
