High Memory/RAM Usage
Microsoft Teams is currently the most RAM consuming application on my computer

Thank you for your recent votes on the individual performance items. High memory and RAM usage is something we are continuously working to improve, and the team is hard at work on fixes.
If interested, you can find more details on how Teams currently uses Memory at https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoftteams/teams-memory-usage-perf.

The min 1 GB of Memory is far too much for this piece of software

The huge consumption let us evaluate changing from teams to other alternative in our organziation. The min 1 GB of Memory is far too much for this piece of software

I have only 4 Gb memory and when I uses Teams my system hangs. Teams uses 1.5gb. Have no choice but to use google meet now.

We consistently find that Teams uses huge amount of memory slowing computers (Apple & PC) - we are using Zoom now for external calls and internal calls as a backup - we are considering going to Zoom if this continues sadly

Teams uses so much local power - we are using Zoom instead which seems a shame!

Jealous of all these other comments with ~500 MB of usage. I'm sitting at 1.6 GB of RAM currently used with a single Teams window open.

Teams usually takes my PC 350-500 MB, much higher than the other communication service.

Pretty awful that the original thread gaining ALOT of steam (Teams is using 600+ Mb RAM) is now somewhat "censored" in a way. This application is an absolute resource hog/monster. My work computer is rendered useless by this application. Electron as a framework MUST be stopped, I expect more attention/sophistication from a company like Microsoft!

Due to high memory usage system performs slow which is not at all acceptable
