Workstations Compatibility with Microsoft Teams - Need Guidance

Hi abhrahamdenis,

here are some quick tips and best practices that I've found helpful:

• Make sure your workstation meets the minimum system requirements for Teams. You can find these requirements on Microsoft's website.

• Close any applications or browser tabs that you're not using. This will free up system resources for Teams to use.
• Disable GPU hardware acceleration in Teams. This can help to improve performance on older workstations. To do this, go to Settings > General and uncheck the box next to Turn on GPU hardware acceleration.
• Disable animations and read receipts. These features can also consume system resources, so disabling them can help to improve performance. To do this, go to Settings > Privacy and uncheck the boxes next to Allow Teams to play animations and Show read receipts.
• Keep your workstation and Teams up to date. Microsoft regularly releases updates that include performance improvements and bug fixes.

If you're still experiencing performance issues after following these tips, you may want to consider upgrading your workstation hardware. Teams is optimized for newer hardware, so upgrading your CPU, RAM, and/or GPU can make a significant difference in performance.

Here are also some additional tips that may be helpful:

• Use a wired network connection instead of Wi-Fi if possible. This will provide a more stable and reliable connection for Teams.
• Avoid using Teams during peak times, when the service is most heavily used.
• If you're using Teams on a laptop, make sure that it's plugged in and charging. Running Teams on battery power can reduce performance.
