There has been a longstanding problem with inbound Caller ID Names (CNAM) not working when inbound calls come into their mainline through an Auto Attendant and redirected to a Call Queue. Caller ID Names (CNAM) support for Auto Attendant and Call Queues This is a major problem for many customers, and we are desperate for MS to fix this.
- Matthias_BenderBrass ContributorMicrosoft has announced the availability of the Teams Desktop app via Microsoft Store. Can we expect any performance improvements from this release over the current releases?

- AugustoMoralesCopper ContributorHi, this event should be all about the past due apple silicon app. I've tried MT with Rosetta 2 and battery life is way diminished when using the web version. However as said before, Edge app cannot be compared with the performance of a standalone version. Please bring us the good news! We are hoping at least the release of a beta version.

Recently some sites have published articles about a Microsoft Teams Beta release of a Universal Binary application that runs natively on both M1 and Intel based processors. The information in these articles is inaccurate, and articles have no backing from Microsoft. In the articles, there are links to builds on our CDN that are for internal use only. We are working on delivering a Universal Binary offering of Teams and the CDN link in these articles does contain a downloadable version. However, we discourage users from trying this version(and all other versions that do not come from official Microsoft distribution channels), as it is still in the early phases of testing, fixing, and validation. We understand that our users are eager for a native M1 build, and we are excited to make it a reality in the near future, but we ask that users please not use these unvalidated, unsupported versions.
- LbdCedricCopper ContributorYes. Apple Silicon release is really necessary. Rosetta for Intel absolutely kills the battery on my Macbook Pro 14, and running the Edge App has terrible lag for screen sharing. It is so bad that my colleagues and I end up having to create a simultaneous Zoom Meeting just to share screens while retaining Teams for chat. We may just switch to Zoom if this is delayed past WWDC. It will have been 2 years by then since initial announcement.

- JmackleyCopper ContributorGoing to add to the other voices here - an Apple Silicon version of teams is desparately needed due to the poor performance of teams on the m1 macs, is there any news on if/when we can expect this?

- newyork1982Copper ContributorYeah, here is my question: How is it that Microsoft Teams is the only major productivity and collaboration software product without a M1 version, years after the M1 architecture has been released?

- DdC441Copper ContributorI too am waiting for a Apple Silicon version of Teams. The silence from MS is deafening! Is it being work on? Is there a private/public beta? I'm forced to use the Intel version by my employer. It is slow, unstable and a memory hog. Please share your plans for updating Teams!

- TheCloudSAPEngineerCopper ContributorDear Microsoft, when can we expect some information regarding the native/Apple Silicon version of Microsoft Teams? Currently, we are seeing use of memory of around 2-3GB for our users running Macbooks with Apple Silicon under the hood. Would be great if you could release a native app whether based on Webview2 or the new version of Electron which supports a native app for Apple Silicon.
