Since the latest update of MS Teams (current version 1.3.00.9271 updated on 07/05/20) on a MacBook (early 2015), every time I now join a Teams call, the Microsoft Teams Helper is using >100% of CPU and causing the laptop to overheat. I have disabled the GPU acceleration as seen on some other message boards but this has no impact, and could do with a fix for this ASAP.
Many thanks in advance.

Fan full blast even on an M1 Macbook Pro?? Typically after how long in a video call do you get fan noise?
for me directly ! 2 seconds
I now have a brand new Air M1 / 16GB DRAM. This one purs. Uses about 20% CPU and about 30% GPU. New airs have no fan so no issues there. Device is cool to touch. It could be the 16GB DRAM. My september 2020 i5 had 8GB DRAm and it would grt crushed by teams with the inability to open other windows or multitask on attached LCD monitor. I also think the 2020 i5 was being streased by driving the attached monitor. Try and run with nuat the MAC and detach HDMI second screen ( especially on intel ).
Awesome to hear!
I have also noticed that if I don't have a second screen attached that MS Teams runs great. Just having my 2019 16" MBP on my lap without anything plugged in at all and I see no problems. But as soon as I connect it to another monitor then MS Teams can no longer handle a meeting without the fans spinning up and the CPU hitting 100% usage.
