Teams is KILLING my Mac Every Day
- Jul 14, 2022
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

Sam Cosby so another minimum 10 weeks because frankly it likely won’t be ready on time. In the interim it would be great if a team could configure custom backgrounds on teams web, so everyone with a Mac could get off the app altogether. At this point it would be a better solution to solve the web version parity and abandon the executable, which will still continue to be a disaster for the larger percentage of mac users. Where’s the roadmap for the web version? I think that’s the more interesting proposition (clearly)
It seems my team won’t be leaving slack and zoom sadly. I can’t see that happening for a minimum of 18 months based on current releases and demonstrated priorities, like 53 polycom type devices vs usable mac client. We will likely reduce. Licensing as a result, as we have to pay for the other apps from somewhere.
I totally understand that a small company of 150 doesn’t matter much, but I think there are many of us.
