Microsoft Teams may soon receive performance improvements for their desktop app that will cut down on RAM and CPU usage. A user had raised the issue of a Microsoft Teams desktop app consuming a lot of RAM on the Microsoft Teams community forum. Microsoft has confirmed in a status update that it was “working” on the issue. Teams also received other updates this month, including an offline autosend option and the ability to add up to 10,000 users to a team across the organization.
In addition to updating its status update to reveal that it would work on the issue of the Team desktop app consuming a lot of RAM, Microsoft did not reveal further details on how it would improve performance. It may take some time for Microsoft to address this issue.
First seen in a report by WindowsLatest, the publication notes that it is common knowledge that Microsoft Teams are not updated for all storage configurations, and sometimes slow down devices with HDD.
Users have been complaining on the Microsoft Teams forum about performance issues that arise when using the app on Windows devices that have less storage configuration. As per users, the app consumes a lot of RAM even when it is not used to its full potential.
Meanwhile, Microsoft summarized the new Update Teams they received this month in a blog post. Offline autosend is a new feature that identifies when Teams messages are sent or edited when the user is offline. The messages are sent automatically once the user is online again.
Microsoft now allows large teams to collaborate easily. Global delegates can create teams across the organization with up to 10,000 members. When teams across the organization are created, global service administrators and teams are added as team owners, with each active user as team members.
