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

Hi everyone - we should hopefully have some news for you by next week that you'll want to hear about Teams on Mac & Mac Performance. We absolutely hear you and care very deeply and are working to make the best and most performant version of Teams on Mac possible. Stay tuned.

Sam Cosby do you have an update at all? I joined a call today on a 2017 Macbook Pro, screen sharing with webcam on. I was using a 1080p external monitor with my Macbook open.

Fans span up extremely loudly, machine slowed to a halt and then the attendees on the call started talking over me saying "has he frozen?".

I had to turn off webcam and turn off incoming video to be in with a chance of my Macbook not being completely unusable and the attendees being able to see the content and hear me.

Many thanks!
