Slow app launch
Right now it simply loads too slowly, and it has that massive in-your-face splash screen while doing it.

Application load time is something we are continuously working to improve, and the team is hard at work on fixes. We have validated a recent regression in application launch time that will be fixed in the coming weeks.

Thanks, Alex.
Yeah, the slow loading is one thing, but it's just slow to use in general. It's slow to switch between channels and chats, it's slow to type in long threads, even clicking the Reply link in a long thread, or in a thread where someone else is currently replying, takes forever and frequently causes my Teams to stop responding for minutes at a time.
A previous commenter compared Teams to Slack. I ALSO come from a Slack background, but my current company uses Teams. I have to say, moving from Slack to Teams is a *huge* shock. There's just no comparison. Aside from the performance issues (which is what this ticket is about), there's so much functionality missing.
As it stands now, I don't think anyone moving over from Slack to Teams would be happy with the experience.

Maybe use Office apps to close the splash screen to avoid it on the screen for ages?

Very slow to launch. Slack is much faster and lighter to use

Absolutely pathetic lack of progress on this. Instead of closing of the root issue (https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/17219609-teams-uses-600mb-and-is-super-slow) to try and get it off the "Top ideas" list, please put in the work to address the MANY MANY issues with Teams' performance on every platform. It has been YEARS.

Remove the splash screen when starting in the background!

The loading screen that can't be minimised is a pain.

This is true - when you close the app it takes few seconds to launch again. However, if you open it from the minimized system tray then it will launch instantly.

Michael Rebbec is spot on. Everything is slow.

Not just loading, but every button click in Teams takes far too long.

+1 for proper caching. Coming from a Slack background to Teams is just painful.

It feels even slower when you recognize all the grueling effort that got it to this point.

When...oh when...oh when...will the performance issues with Teams be sorted? In particular Shifts...abominable...and the rest of the app when you're in a video call...btw Zoom doesn;t seem to suffer from this

I don't understand why Microsoft has yet to solve this problem. It is very unpleasant!

Entries are made to a collaborative spreadsheet in excel and then saved. Once the sheet has been closed, the updates do not show. I have tried refreshing connection, I have tried switching tabs, and I have deleted then reinstalled the file. Latency is between 5 and 10 min. The file size is 162KB. Not a big file.

This is just an ridiculous app - I do not see myself waiting for any app that long.

I am facing the same issue. It is not easy to work with multiple organizations if it takes forever to start teams and even longer to switch organizations.
