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 I have the same model MacBook as you and I didn’t have any problems until I increased the monitor resolution. Now I have the same symptoms as you do. Luckily I rarely have to share my screen and when I do it’s from a pc. Every other part of Teams is fine.
I have two large monitors plus the laptop screen. One monitor is set to 4K. I think Teams must have memory issues dealing with so many pixels. You could try setting your monitor to a lower resolution and see if that helps.
Not related, but Teams video calls from the new iPad Pro are great. The front camera quality is much better than standard laptops and the artificial intelligence keeps your face centered in the video window so if you want to stand up for a stretch during a meeting the camera follows you. It also keeps the exposure levels set to your face so a bright background won’t put your face in shadow.
