    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've had the same issue for last few weeks and only just cottoned on to the fact that the issue was happening after using Teams.

 

I'm running a Macbook Pro 16inch with 32GB of memory, it was top of the line two years ago.

 

But I've come across this thread because I just had my computer slow down while screen sharing with my manager via Slack.

 

Got me wondering if the issue is related to an underlying kernal_task, that many video sharing applications might be using that is common to the MAC platform.
