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!

    My counsel is do not use this chat stream.  I dared to say that  I chose simply to buy more memory. The obnoxious and abusive responses I received from techie people for ‘daring’ to say what worked for me was unacceptable. I was talking s**t, I was a ‘d**khead’, I was an ‘a**hole’.

    Take my advice do not get involved on this stream.

    I have been looking at this for a while and can only assume the issue is with either Electron or MS Teams code. The Teams app doesn't play well with some hardware setups.

    I have a low spec laptop and everything is fine, my desktop is way better spec but Teams consumes CPU% when using Video.

    I have updated all Teams shortcuts to:

    C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c start "Microsoft Teams" /Normal /affinity 6 "C:\Users\your.profile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Teams\Update.exe" --processStart "Teams.exe"

    This command runs Teams and sets it to only use CPU Cores 2 & 3 (I have four cores).

    I know this is not a fix but Teams was crippling my system.

    I am waiting for MS to release the new Web based desktop client in the hope that it works.

    This does not really help, the performance continues to be slow and very high utilization of memory.
