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.

    Aaah, okay, so this works automatically as long as teams is open, so I need to type the script every time I have had teams shut down?

    Thanks for this script, I will definitely try it out, I have the exact same problem as everyone else.

    But just to be sure, to undo the changes this makes, is it just to change the value between -n and -p to 0, or is there another way?

    It's renicing the processes related to Teams, so restarting Teams will effectively undo the change.
