Teams Performance

Will anyone from the Teams product group offer an update on performance of the windows app? It seems like the majority of comments today are around CPU usage, memory usage, latency for chat history,...

I mean I guess technically in that case if you run out of memory, then Memory usage = performance lol :). I remember it used to use like 1.2GB or something crazy, I don't usually see it going much over 750MB these days, it def. can still use some tweaking which I'm sure will continue to improve over time.

ChrisWebbTech Thanks. I agree memory is not exceeding ~800mb lately. Maybe some update fixed this 🙂

On the other hand, my CPU spikes were still dramatic. I fixed this by disabling the GPU rendering in Teams (strange? I would say GPU rendering should improve the performance instead of degrading).

See https://www.itexperience.net/2020/01/10/fix-performance-issues-teams-high-cpu-memory-usage/

He also speaks about disabling the Outlook add-ins and integration, but actually I want to keep those features. I'm happy with the performance for now.

I'm randomly, daily, experiencing a laggy computer. Checking the Task manger when this happens reveals Teams using 30-50% cpu when I haven't touched teams. The cpu usage doesn't subside after a while either, it seems to keep doing it forever.

Force closing/restarting teams solves the issue, until tomorrow again I guess. Had this happen a few times last year as well, but it behaved well most of the time until recently where it happens more often.

Scrolling through the Teams chats was almost impossible. It took 10+ seconds to display the text. And when I scrolled up, it would take another 10 seconds to display the other posts/texts.
CPU was spiking at that same time.
Now I disabled that GPU rendering, and performance in teams has improved greatly. CPU is below 10% (which saves my laptop battery as well). SO I don't see any reason to enable it.

jimharpert why wouldn't you want it to use as much CPU as possible when it has something to do? Surely it should just do things as fast as possible and then be done.
