High Memory/RAM Usage
Microsoft Teams is currently the most RAM consuming application on my computer
Daniel Gauthier
shared this idea
Thank you for your continued feedback. We are continuously improving the clients to use less memory and RAM.
The upgrade to Electron 10 has rolled out fully to the public at this point. Telemetry and testing has shown that this is helping to improve memory performance on the client.
We will continue to work on improvements, and will share more updates as they become available.

it's interesting how you are "continuously improving the clients to use less memory and RAM" since 2019, and MS Teams.. I see the same issue until 2021. I never have issues in skype, zoom or WebEx too.
- Terrible computer performance when Sharing screen on a Teams call
- When on a call, even with 1 person, but it gets worse when we will share the screen with office applications. All applications be absolutely unresponsive, freeze and crash.
- So it seems that Teams has a problem with specific ethernet connection on laptops.
- To resolve the issue, the pc is restarted and everything returns to normal.
- The issue starts connected by LAN. The task manager shows something more than 10 task of Teams, and more 10 task of google chrome.
and all aplications freezes or so slow.. untirl restart my PC or close Teams task by task manager.. again, and again, and again. -

I'm using an ethernet cable to connect directly to my modem and nothing else is open on my computer. I still have lag problems during Teams meetings. I NEVER have issues with lag when in Zoom or WebEx meetings. I've disable the noise reduction and all Teams add-ins in Outlook and still not any better.

Come on, Electron 10 is end of life. For the love of all things holy, please just upgrade to the current Electron and then move to React. How can a chat app use hundreds of megs of memory doing NOTHING!

Using more tan 900MB on my laptop, with just the main window open. Really bad.

"The upgrade to Electron 10 has rolled out fully to the public at this point."
It has been announced, not released. Also using half the memory of teams today it will still be using 2-4x the amount of memory of competing collaboration tools when idle.

Admin - don't you mean to say that Microsoft Teams 2.0 will use half the memory, dropping Electron for Edge Webview2 according to Rish Tandon, Microsoft CVP Engineering for Microsoft Team?
Windows 11 will include a consumer version of Teams, which looks as if it will be the first iteration of Teams 2.0, a new architecture which replaces Electron with Edge WebView2 as the basis for the Teams client. Microsoft predicts that the change will reduce the memory footprint by half and make it possible to introduce some new features. There’s no dependency between Windows 11 and Teams 2.0, but given the amount of work needed to make architectural transitions, it’s unlikely that we’ll see an enterprise Teams 2.0 client until sometime in 2022.

My workaround to this is to use the web app instead of the desktop app. Everything is more stable in the web version.

How “hard” is the team working on this? I have seen NO improvement. None.

Amazed to see how much RAM Teams uses - makes it totally unusable in a VDI environment. Using about 1GB when minimised and doing nothing meaning we would need 0.5 TB of RAM just run it in our environment. Unsure how large companies use it at all...

Does this thing have memory and handle leaks or something? How can a video calling app consume so much RAM?

Great tool, but uses/hogs way too many resources on Windows machines. Really a pain in enterprise environments. Please make this a prio :)

Yeah, this app is a total resource HOG.
Sitting still, and minimized, it uses about 1GB of RAM.

Worst CPU and Memory Performance with Teams, it just eats up all CPU and Memory on PC even when there are no other applications running except Teams, still it complains your call quality is affected because for high CPU load
So it doesn't even recognize that it, itself is the culprit here, this teams assumes that whole PC is only for its own luxury, highly frustrated with this junk app, only using as its chosen by employer

Please fix this, I loved my surfacepro and all the other MS products when it worked. I am losing an hour per day waiting on my PC or rebooting it. It kills my train of thought as well. As a business owner, I can't have my staff dealing with this everyday. I hate to say this, but I just researched how to convert my company to the "other side." The only reason I consider this, is our phones never slow down nor have problems. Yes the initial price is higher, but with the lost productivity I'm experiencing in my staff, it will pay itself back in days.... My goal is not to convert, MS operate as they used to and I go back to my normal, happy life.
