Do other people have this also that Teams get so laggy and unresponsive when you are with many people in the meeting.

What will happen for example is that it takes very long that the bar appear where you can unmute your mic and leave the meeting or open the chat on the right.

Would like to hear if i am the only or its my Surface Pro 3 that is getting to old.

Surface Pro 3 is with 8 GB mem and a Core I7 and 512 gb ssd.

And does the Teams product team about this problem?

    lmao not even close. the problem was never the road, microsoft decided to use an outdated electron to work with compatibility with others SO like mac and linux, and they’re paying for their decision, because everyone knows that teams is using an very very outdated version of electron just to keep the compatibility instead of making an native main app.

    make an native app rather than use an old electron, and it will fly like you said. microsoft fault here since the problem is actually the car, and instead of making native app they are just trying (and failing) to patch electron related issues. 

    for comparison, microsoft teams for android and ios are native (ios was built with swift), they run much much smoother than the c.rap desktop version.

    just search for electron high cpu usage and you will know what im talking about

    Not necessary. It maybe the way how your road is paved. Same car is driving perfectly on millions of other roads.

    For instance on my computer Teams consumes 1% CPU when using chat or calendar and 5-6% when in the video call. Memory used 750MB.

    Check if you have any third-party antivirus or whitelisting software, things like McAfee, Carbon Black or FireEye are well known bad guys.

    Try installing Teams on another, clean PC. Make sure you have latest version (currently it is Version 1.3.00.26064 (64-bit) from October 27, 2020.

    Try stopping all third-party agents, especially security agents, and check again. Teams is not a light App, it has tons of features and integrations.

    Check that you are not using VPN. VPN and cloud services like Teams are not friends (when traffic goes through on-prem it will be slow for sure).

    Report here any findings. It must be something with the paving, as the same car can drive nicely on many other roads. Could be combination too!

    Just try the same hardware with clean Windows 10 and Teams installed, and you will see that it will be no any slowness.

    If your car cannot drive because there are roadblocks, the problem is not the car - but roadblocks. Remove roadblocks and your car will fly :-).

    yeah, nope. On my Lenovo ThinkPad P50 I daily use Chome, 3 or 4 instances of IntelliJ IDEA, Outlook, Spotify and Teams... only Teams presents performance issues... even with all the other apps closed. Today I just turned on my laptop, opened Teams, try to text chat with team mates... unusable, 25% CPU usage, 1.5GB RAM... ridiculous.

    So... I have several cars on the same road, only one is left behind... I would bet it is the car
