MS Teams Helper using up >100% of CPU MacBook

TNoonan -I tried everything else, before I found your update.  Nothing else worked.   Your update - VOILA - cleans up all of the TEAMs EXCESS resource use.   

this is Awesome.

Now - MICROSOFT - why don't you tell everyone about this.

I have opened 2 businesses this year, and standardized both on TEAMs and 365.  

Before finding this - I was about to throw that all out, and move to another provider. 

Tell the world.   you will keep happy customers, instead of getting defections to GSUITE, Zoom, and others.

I'm not using the Teams app anymore. As I don't have another option but to use MS solutions because of the corporate stack, the workaround which is working ok is to use Teams on the Chrome web app. Use significantly less CPU load, energy, and everything else. 

It's embarrassing, of course, but had to buy and install Turbo Booster Switcher Pro to deactivate the booster in addition to using Chrome. 

Any other app like Zoom, Google Meet, Whereby, and others have a better experience Than Teams. Shame on you, MS. 

Another problem I have after the recent update is that I need to approve permission for sharing screen and quit Teams and then load again every time I need to share any presentation on my screen. So I'm not using the Teams app anymore; instead, I'm using it on the Chrome web app. 

Neither Safari nor Firefox supports Teams’ web app.

Similar experience here. Point o point calls with teams consume 150% CPU load without a problem. This happens on every mac at my work site. We even tried a brand new mac with nothing else installed. Don;t try and be mobile and use teams. It completely kills battery's in about 45 min. Its so effective at killing the battery that the OS then complains of battery issues post. Zoom on the other hand consumes 35% CPU in a very very large meeting. Seems microsoft have something very wrong and have not been able to correct it in a year or so. In other words, don;t look for this to be fixed, move to another option.

maybe a little workaround, restart your teams after calls where you have been sharing your screen of video dialing, it frees up some memory and you are good for a while

i also tried disabling GPU acceleration, does not work

but indeed i also have a macbookpro 2020 fullspec, 64GB RAM, and teams just slows the whole thing down

and also since my upgrade to mac os big sur, my notifications text is gone, i use teams in dark mode
