Teams on Mac video is instantly choppy

I'm getting extremely jittery video despite a good connection. It looks like every few frames, a single frame from a second ago is displayed, causing both my video and other participants videos to just jitter in a really distracting way. It can't be my connection because I have a good ping & good connection, and its happening to my video as well.

Mac OS 12.6 21G115
Teams version 1.5.00.33356
MacBook Pro

Microsoft Teams | Microsoft Teams for business | Meetings and calls | Audio and video

    Apparently this is a problem with Intel based Macbooks and is not a problem with the M1 Macbooks (different driver?).

    The suggestion was made to me to run Teams in PWA mode (inside a web browser) rather than the native app. That does work. The jittery video was not present. Unfortunately the Web-based mode does not open automatically from calendar notifications, but it does solve the jittering video issue.

    I've been having the same issue, and started noticing it in December. Incredibly distracting. Tried other suggested fixes such as uninstalling/reinstalling, opening other video feeds, etc. The only thing that worked for me was installing an older version (1.5.00.28567 found here https://microsoft-teams-for-mac.en.uptodown.com/mac/download/85833794). 

    For reference I am on a 2020 MacBook Pro, running macOS Monterey with a Intel Core i5 processor.

    Same here.

    Since the update to 1.5.00.33356.

    Macbook Pro 16", Intel silicon.

    I have colleague with a Macbook Pro with Apple silicon and he has no issue.

    Microsoft, please fix!

    This is happening to me since the update in December and it is maddening. I've cleared the cache, reinstalled Teams, reset my computer. Nothing has fixed this problem.

    Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.33356. It was last updated on 12/13/22
