Hi

Teams is almost killing my laptop. Here's an example:

Is there anything  can do to reduce Teams' memory usage?

Or do I just need to buy more memory?

Thanks!

    Still horrendous even when not being used, and still Msft does nothing:

    If this keeps up, my co will block access to it because of the negative effect on productivity. Ironic that a tool in what Msft calls a "productivity suite" actually slows people down....

    Its fine beginning " In Application Cache > Cache folder "  but some of us are not Techy people . If you can point me to where to find 'application cache' I can go from there. 

    Like many others I find myself 'trapped' by MS and confronted by tech support people who cannot relate to the fact that I do not have their familiarity with MS systems and applications.

    Perhaps MS should develop all its systems using standard available laptops and NOT the most up-to-date  most powerful CPU , most memory I can get, versions.  Then there may be a better appreciation of the difficulties individuals and small & medium sized businesses face with its products. I won't hold my breath.

    In the meantime can someone please guide me to find 'application cache' so I can try and speed up my machine.

    They must have worked really hard to make that happen, considering how little Teams actually does. Total joke.

    Others would run a whole business on that amount of RAM. For sure my first Exchange 2000 Server had less.

    This is such a joke. Teams is using 22.7 GB of ram and its not even open.

    that's almost 3 times more ram than most people even have installed. impressive.
