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

It seems like MS released a new beta version of the teams client: https://9to5mac.com/2022/04/25/microsoft-teams-apple-silicon-mac/

I installed it and so far it is looking very promising. Way less lag and CPU usage.

Hi everyone. Recently, some sites have published articles about a Microsoft Teams Beta release of a Universal Binary application that runs natively on both M1 and Intel based processors. The information in these articles is inaccurate, and articles have no backing from Microsoft. In the articles, there are links to builds on our CDN that are for internal use only. We are working on delivering a Universal Binary offering of Teams and the CDN link in these articles does contain a downloadable version. However, we discourage users from trying this version(and all other versions that do not come from official Microsoft distribution channels), as it is still in the early phases of testing, fixing, and validation.

We understand that our users are eager for a native M1 build, and we are excited to make it a reality in the near future, but we ask that users please not use these unvalidated, unsupported versions.

Thanks,
Sam

Hi Sam,

thank you for this explanation. Yesterday the beta was working fine on my machine but it is a way different story today. It is totally unresponsive and I will switch back to the not working stable version.
