Why Teams is slowing down my Mac?

Microsoft Teams is so bloated that it causes even M1 Macs to slow down to crawl. It drains your battery and affects your Macbook’s performance. A few reasons why Microsoft Teams is slowing down your Mac: 

High Resource Usage

Teams are resource-intensive due to its screen-sharing and video call feature. If it slows your Mac down, it must be due to the CPU and memory Teams are using to run the program. 

To run your Mac smoothly, clean your Macbook regularly to ensure memory storage is not filled to the neck. 

Outdated Software 

There is a chance your Teams version is not compatible or outdated with the macOS. This incompatibility leads to performance issues.

Install an updated version of the Teams app to run it smoothly. 

Slow Network

Microsoft Teams’ performance is affected by the speed of the internet more than you can imagine. 

Check your internet connection to ensure everything runs smoothly. If you can, switch to a wired connection to ensure your Macbook performs optimally. 

You can also run Microsoft Teams on your Chrome and Edge to make the most out of your features. Firefox and Safari miss out on most features, but you can still use it on them. If your Macbook is still not performing well, contact Expert MacBook repair technician for more information.
