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
Over the past couple of weeks, I've now started seeing laggy performance using Teams on my Mac mini (M1, 2020) 16GB macOS Monterey Version 12.0.1
Microsoft Teams Version 1.4.00.34557
(It's always been slow on my Intel Macs)
Video calls in particular are laggy. Even the local image from my camera looks laggy.
I don't see any issues like this with any other video tools, such as Quicktime, FaceTime, Zoom, mmhmm, Google meetings, Amazon Chime etc...
According to "System information" MS Teams is still an Intel app, so any performance issues are likely to be present on both architectures. It's just that maybe the M1 machines are so much faster it wasn't noticeable until now. Something has definitely changed to make it more of an issue on the M1 Macs too though.

Update on this. After the Monterey 12.1 update, things have sped up somewhat.
Now the only thing that is laggy is Teams video calls specifically.
All other video apps continue to work like a dream.
