Teams Performance

Well, many of us still struggling with this. ChrisWebbTech  Following my experience during Teams implementation on Citrix (with resource offloading) Teams reducing 30-40% of the server density, comparing with Skype For Business. I have also learned, that Teams using a lot of cache file mechanisms in order to reduce ram footprint, so does not really help for SSD wearing, and just simply kills an HDD based machine. But still knowing the development challenges that confirmed on various channels, the app is still sluggish in 2020/05, (and was the same problem in 2018, when we started to use Teams... )

I do not think corporate Office or blue-collar users must use at least 8th+ generation Corei5 machines and AMD Ryzen 5 (Zen+) or better CPUs, in order to use the solution quite smoothly.  If I use my workstation (HP Zbook G6 with 6cores, 12threads), I feel a significant performance drop, when we turn on a camera or use only for audio meetings.  A HyperV machine not doing that drop! I can also admit, that was some improvement from 2018, but just some. I personally think: Instead of focusing on funny features, like shiny background on-camera meetings, will be better to optimize the app core I think.
