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.

    Same thing here. It is very distracting so much so I can't use the mac app anymore. Additionally the audio is glitchy with many very short dropouts that are harsh on the ear. Web interface is unaffected (Chrome) so I'll be using that for now.

    Teams version 1.6.00.364

    macOS Monterey - 12.6.1

    MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019

    I have been having the same problem in the same timeframe. The problem is only with Teams video. It happens with all video rendered by Teams, including video from my own camera (whichever one I use), video of my teammates, and shared-screen video. It jumps exactly as described, and it does it a lot. It's very annoying. My teammates report that my video looks fine to them. Only Teams video has this problem; other apps with video work fine.

    I'm on a Macbook Pro, 16-inch, 2019, 2.6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, AMD Radeon Pro 5300M 4 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB.

    Same here too - I thought for a while it was my machine, until I realised that my colleagues had the same issue and didn't complain. Glad to see this thread to show that I haven't gone mad. I may see if I can downgrade my MSTeams.
