MS Teams Helper using up >100% of CPU MacBook

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.

    Same for me.

    Interestingly it was fine yesterday before I chose the 'open in a new window' feature, though this in itself didn't seem to perform an upgrade:

    You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.3.00.18164. It was last updated on 24/08/2020.

    Second that question. My 2017 MacBook Pro gets burning hot whenever I use MS Teams app, which I'm using daily for work. Very interested in the answer to this question.

    Same issue here. Until a fix is released, use the web version which runs smoothly - not ideal, but a good workaround.
