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
The computer is great for everything else I'm doing, dare I say even fairly powerful for most of the analyses I'm running. But Teams crashes it almost everytime and I have to reboot the computer to have a functional working environment again.
This makes me HATE teams and Microsoft more than I already did, unfortunately the company I work for necessitates Teams communication. All other video conferencing apps work fine, but this terribly coded Microsoft Teams app is a computer breaker.
Sure seems like the Microsoft devs are doing this on purpose to make people think their Apple laptops are the problem.
- I am in a very similar situation as you with the same Mac model (2019 - should work right?). Looks like Microsoft doesn't care.
- Probably not the answer you wanted, but after referring IT to this thread, they decided to upgrade me to a 2021 MBP (Apple M1 Pro) rather than troubleshoot my 2019 MBP (Intel based).
This seems to have solved my problem.teamsuser_nobueno nice fix! Microsoft is pushing Apple sales with their software
- I have just changed from Windows laptops to a MacBook Pro and seem to be the only one at the company that has this problem. Teams has been fast at the beginning but after a few days it is unusable.
UI actions take several seconds to complete, text input is delayed and the startup takes long.
Microsoft Teams Render Helper processes take up more than 100% of CPU power at times and thus the rest of the system slows down as well.
The only workaround this far is the Teams web version in Chrome.- Make sure you exit Teams after eery session and restart the mac daily.
