Teams uses 600MB and is super slow!
Quotes from various users about memory usage and slow performance:
"Team is a memory hog! 100s MB! Slack is about 50."
"The memory consumption is over 300MB!!! This should be a priority."
"Just started evaluating teams, 500+ MB and 10-15% CPU. This is in a citrix VDI. Does teams use hardware rendering? If so is there a way to turn it off? I had to do this with the rest of Office."
"I dont understand why my Teams application only uses 70MB when other people in my organization are towards half a gig! What is causing this Teams?"
"Make it less CPU heavy, 20% CPU on switch tabs? Really?"
"See attached picture."

Great performance and user experience remain a topmost priority for us. Application launch time has seen improvements in the recent build. We will continue making improvements across the product including channel to chat switching and overall resource consumption.

I hate these ****** hybrid html apps!! Even MS can't do proper apps anymore because of all these mixed technologies!

MS Teams us using over 1.6 GB of RAM and high CPU, this even after disabling GPU HW acceleration, cleaned temp folders, disable survey's, etc. Switching between chat's takes 10+seconds. PC: DELL Latitude 5400: Intel i5-8365U, 16GB RAM, SSD 1 TB

Teams is using over a Gig of memory on my system, even after restarting it. Bloated!

Hi there,
I have just found that turning off "Surveys" (under Settings > Privacy) and restarting reduces RAM usage on Windows 10... by 200-400 MB!
What on Earth is "Surveys" doing that merits using as much RAM as the ENTIRE rest of the Teams app? Is this spyware? Or are you trying to solve the Reimann Hypothesis in the background?!

Microsoft Teams froze my laptop with over 4G RAM usage and intensive disk access. It took quite a while to call up even task manager.
You can do better

get teams to do its backend cleanup and optimization
of files in cache and indexdb, etc..do this in a low-cpu background thread.
do this automatically when the app sensses that ram usage is too high, and also once per week at random time +-3 hours and if missed the sched automatically.
users do not need to do cleanup on teams folders to solve issues.such as:
Go to %appdata%\Microsoft\teams Then delete the following files. As a side note, you can move the files to another place to avoid the data loss.
a. In Application Cache > Cache folder, delete all files in it.
b. In Blob_storage folder, delete all files.
c. In Cache folder, delete all files.
d. In databases folder, delete all files.
e. In GPUCache folder, delete all files.
f. In IndexedDB folder, delete the .db file.
g. In Local Storage folder, delete all files.
h. In tmp folder, delete all files.

1. fix ram usage asap - critical.
2. fix process throtteling - so no cpu spikes when teams does its backend stuff (when loading and when running in the back)
3. Dynamically load and unload stuff from memory.
4. run background threads in low cpu priority

It's better to have a native app, not a electron app, it takes so much resources, 30% of cpu for a single call it's too much, and the ui is too weird. Teams didn't have a native notifications!.

What is the status here?
WFH I don't have the same powerful PC from the office and video calls are killing my machine. -

1.3GB of memory. I don't experience slowdowns very often, but this is nuts that an application that's expected to be run every minute I'm at work has this high of memory usage.

Teams is regularly using high CPU and memory and often causes my system to be unresponsive or freeze.
If I had a choice I would not use teams at all.

Teams is consuming so much memory it's frequently crashing itself due to high memory usage, and kicking me out of very important meetings. This is unacceptable. It's gotten much worse since forcing new windows for meetings.

Teams is regularly using high CPU and memory and often causes my system to be unresponsive as a message comes in, not to mention regular audio corruption as teams sucks all of my computer's resources.
If I had a choice I would not use teams at all.

I don't know if this was just me, but it got better and memory usage seemed to improve a month or so ago, e.g. 700MB on startup on an 8GB machine, now it's routinely 1.2GB just on start up when doing nothing. This then starts to go up during a call, to the point where everything freezes and the app crashes. This ridiculous.

We recently switched the whole company from Slack to Teams, and it's been rough. It literally is crashing my computer when I am trying to make a video call through it, and I am running it on a gaming PC that is able to handle top of the line games at max settings with no issues. But then Teams is able to cause my system to crash and I have to do video calls through my phone. But even today on my phone for a video call, Teams literally crashed my phone and forced it to restart. Please fix this memory eating issue. Thanks

The Teams client is still as bad as ever. If Microsoft has made any improvements since february i'm not seeing it.

Teams isn't even open and memory consumption is 2GB. C'mon guys. This is ridiculous. I wouldn't use Teams if I didn't have to, but since I'm taking online college courses, it's a must. My poor computer is struggling here.
