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.

    Appreciate the feedback. Love using TEAMS, and how it's integrated. It just sucks in that it eats up mac's resources.

    Also noticed, that Teams is not yet native in M1.

    Anyway, thanks for the help!

    Is Turbo Boost Switcher worth using? And yeah, I use Teams literally ALL day for my job. We have 1100 employees in the company and I manage two of the internal applications so my Teams never shuts up. I’ll let you know if I can find something that no one on the internet has haha. Good luck with that.

    What will happen by disabling this function? Any performance issue on the app itself? TIA

    Great feedback. I'm looking at a new M1 MacBook and hoping that it can handle the workload. But maybe I need to jump to the Pro?
