Teams is KILLING my Mac Every Day
Hi everyone, we're pleased to announce Microsoft Teams for Apple Silicon, which on the M1/M2 ARM builds, will have significantly faster performance than what's seen during the Rosetta emulation today! Here's our official roadmap ID for this release; Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365. More on this can be found here; Announcing Microsoft Teams optimized for Apple silicon - Microsoft Tech Community.
Users should see a significant performance boost with this release. And for the Intel Macs out there, we're still thinking about you! We have some large performance fixes coming that will help improve overall performance for the Intel version as well.
Thanks,
Sam Cosby, Teams Engineering PM
I am also having the exact same issues on my Mac.
Screen flickering, complete system meltdown and eventually I have to force-quit teams to get things back to normal.
I have reverted to only attending teams meetings in the browser, as this seems to be more stable currently.
MicrosoftSam Cosby Same here. This is REALLY painful. Especially those days when you can spend up to 8 hours in videoconference in a row. Please share any improvement fix asap 🙂
- Hi Sam Cosby, I have to say Teams started working much better for me with the update that came out end of September. Flickering stopped and opened up faster. I just received an update dated November 2, 2021 and Teams loaded much quicker than the previous version (end of September).
Thank you for these improvements and for listening!- Sam CosbyThat's fantastic to hear. We're continuing to double down our performance investments in both the Mac & Windows apps and you should continue to see significant improvements as we progress forward. Timelines are a bit challenging to project but I've spoken to the team about some of the issues brought up here and can confirm that we're working as fast as possible to continue to give you the best possible experience on the product.
Thanks again for letting us know and we're always listening!
Sam
