Microsoft finally optimised Teams to work well on M1 Macs



Microsoft has now finally released a new version of Microsoft Teams optimized to run better on Apple Silicon Macs. For a lot of users out there, this will mean a significant boost in performance ensuring proper and efficient use of all the resources available on the device and a better optimized Teams experience, even when using multiple high-resolution monitors during calls or meetings, according to Microsoft.

The newly updated app comes nearly two years after the company revealed the first silicon-powered devices. So far, Teams had been running using Rosetta 2 translation, resulting in performance issues like Slower startup times, lag, and more. One workaround has been to run the progressive Web app version of Teams, which requires the Microsoft Edge Mac browser.

Although Microsoft apps like the office suite were available not long after silicon Power Max debuted, however, the company first started beta testing a version of teams optimized for the new Apple chips back in April, and this is probably when they will start rolling it out for the masses. The new version of Teams will be released as a universal binary running natively on both Intel and Silicon-powered Macs. However, you will have to wait for some time as Microsoft does plan to release it in increments over the coming months.
