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 just want to jump into this thread to comment that, as of today, 5th of April 2022, Teams is still completely melting down my MAC. I don't know if you guys are mining Bitcoin with Teams or what else but the outcome remains the same, fans spinning like hell, computer about to meltdown, and all other apps almost impossible to use while meeting on Teams. I've fully removed the Teams app from my MAC and started using the web version instead, but it's the same or worse. Adding a blurred background in a meet with just 3 other people is enough to cause all of these problems at once, like from the very moment the meet starts.
Hope you can do something about this, as most of us are using Teams by force in our workplaces, so there's nothing we can do except continue to work until our MACs literally liquefy.
Thank you for your time.
Thanks to a generous employer I have now changed to a Macbook Pro with M1 Pro Processor which made the trick, (only using 20% av processor when using teams now) however it is terrible that a service like this cant be handled by a i5 Dual Core and in your case an i7 processor.
