Reduce Memory Usage
Microsoft Teams is currently the most RAM consuming application on my Windows 7 Professional Laptop. I would expect there is room for improvement.

Windows 10... 894.9MB in use by Teams. Ridiculous. Fix the leaks.

Same problem here. Microsoft has to learn how to develop good software yet...

I shut down Teams completely from the Taskbar so that my laptop is able to perform its normal tasks. I see significant improvement in Laptop performance once I shut Teams. I restart Teams only to check conversations now and then.
Competing apps like Slack, Flock are not hogging memory that much. Microsoft needs to look into this issue soon.

Everyone in my company is having issues with memory on their computer since we have been moved to teams - both on Windows 10 and on Mac OS

After reading the complaints here I am now also using the teams web platform. The app is a joke and uses WAY too much memory for a chat app. I advise other folks to use the web platform as well.. Microsoft is out to lunch on user needs, I only use this because I have to for work.

Just deployed Teams to replace Skype for Business for my organisation in 6 countries. Teams eats lot of memory and users wants to go back to Skype again just for that reason. Microsoft have to do something to improve the Product.

I start my day with Teams holding 86,6 MB of RAM in background. This is ok, I guess.
At lunch the app is holding 298,5 MB in background.
When I end my day, the app holds 325,9 MB in background. For the type of app this is way to much and in this particular day I did't even chat a lot. -

Teams is constantly hogging memory and CPU (esp. when Outlook Teams AddIn is running). Please fix this beast of an application.

Our organisation new to O365. Teams takes up the system resources than any other apps. Appreciate a light and compact version.

It often uses more memory than VS 2019
I would not expect Microsoft to fix it, over the last decade they have been in decline

Consumes RAM nearly 500 MB. Also the CPU utilization is high.

Dude? I get like 2 messages a day! Teams is fighting other software for resources. Can't this be like a 0.1% CPU usage old-fashioned TSR? What does it have to do except listen for pings?

Over 15% CPU usage while running in the background doing NOTHING! Teams is slow, it is bloatware, it doesn't allow deletion of conversation entries, it is difficult to navigate, it drops connections without warning.
I strongly suggest everyone here to switch to Zoom! It just works. Period.
Note: I cannot use Zoom (other than a few months trial a ways back) because of my corporate policies. I own no stock in Zoom. I have no friends in Zoom. Zoom simply is the best, from my personal experience, by far.

We have the same problem. Is Microsoft not able to resolve this issue?

Not only high RAM, but also a high CPU load, causing 25% battery drain in 1 week. And that without using Teams at all last week. I thought Microsoft was making software more energy efficient.

When using the "Call" feature or "Meeting" feature, the app slows to a dramatic halt. Even after clearing cache in %appdata%\Microsoft\teams
