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
My work Mac has been doing the same thing. Extremely frustrating! I’m on the lates OS too. I first thought it was an issue with my Bluetooth causing the lag, so I ordered a wired headset. Still the same issue was happening. When I’m on teams doesn’t matter audio or video same problem occurs. My kernel_task will go from using 2-5% CPU to over 800 CPU!! In a matter or minutes. Once this happens I’m lagging for about 3-5 seconds behind. I can longer do anything on my machine. If I even try it will end up shutting down. I have to wait until my meeting is over to either restart my computer to bring it back to normal or wait about 20-25 minutes for it to start slowing down.
