Microsoft Teams App Gains Native Apple Silicon Support

[iBreatheApple]

Zoom > teams with the exception that zoom does not let you copy text from the chat by default. I read online it’s a setting but only accessible by logging into a web browser that literally no one knows about.

Is this an actual full replatforming?

MS teams for windows still looks like a ****** electron app using a gig of memory.

Same platform. It's a lot faster on my Mac.

Hmmm weird. I feel like everyone is saying audio is still Intel but I grabbed continuous build from August 3rd and now my M1 Mac only has two Intel processes. ipcserver (steam) and CarbonComponentScannerXPC (rosetta 2). Everything else including Teams and its audio says its Apple.

Second that. All processes on my M1 Pro MBP 16' are Apple Silcon. No Intel at all.

I'm running August 3rd continuous build (1.5.00.21561) and it still has the Intel audio driver

Did you check the "Teams Audio Driver" in the installer window?

For those wanting it now, you can change to the preview build in Teams (in the about section). It’ll take about 10 mins to download and transition. Perfect for those that don’t want to download a file from a website and reinstall it manually.

Been using it for a few weeks. Works like a champ!

Can you confirm that puts you at v20352? How do you do it?

Good to see more apps natively supporting Apple Silicon.

What am I missing? I downloaded the apple silicon MS Teams program and it shows up as an "Intel" app under activity monitor.

I did, which actually just started to be unchecked by default on recent (within the last week or two) builds

From where?

 

[cohen777]

From where?

from Microsoft's website

OK - I did a google search for download Microsoft Teams for apple silicon and came up with a different download site - thank you! it is:

Announcing Microsoft Teams optimized for Apple silicon | Microsoft Community Hub

Today we’re excited to announce the arrival of a native Microsoft Teams app optimized for the Apple silicon Mac lineup.

Not sure. I'm already on 20858. That's probably what it will put you on.

3 dots in the top right corner -> About -> Developer preview

EDIT: my MacBook Air M1 was on 20352 when I checked for updates just now. It updated to 21565 when I checked. I believe you'll get 20858 or 21565 when you enable developer previews.

If I was looking for a job and a potential hiring was using Teams, I’d keep looking.

 

[heretiq]

dev units were available long before that

So, you think that Apple shared Apple Silicon dev units with Microsoft a year before they publicly announced Apple Silicon??

That's a bit overreaction and you know it. My company uses Teams...not my first choice but that's the choice.

 

[MBPM1]

Companies use Teams because it comes along with Office. No one would ever compare Teams against Slack and decide to use Teams.

So can you point me to where I can see how Slack supports video conferencing as I couldn't find it on their site?

 

[MBPM1]

I've never had an issue with Teams on my M1 MBP. I guess I also have 64gig of RAM so if it's a memory hog I likely wouldn't notice.

Has worked fine on my M1/MBP with 16Gig too.

 

[southerndoc]

For all the Teams haters, I haven't had any problem with it. It's better now that it's native to AS. I use it for work purposes only. It's not like I enjoy using it. It's not a video game that I want to spend a lot of time in. It gets the job done for my health system.

I am also having the same problem.

CoreAudio still shows up as Intel despite upgrading the audio driver.

How do you update the audio driver specifically? Everyone I've seen post on her running Universal Teams is also posting that the CoreAudio driver is still Intel. Sometime may have changed with a recent version though.

It’s hard to be excited about Microsoft Teams’s poor design running its flawed algorithms slightly faster; the experience is guaranteed to be just as horrid. I hope that it is outlawed. Sincerely.

 

[Havoc035]

As long as it’s still running on electron it’s a bit of a stretch to call this a native app.

 

[svish]

Good to know that it finally supports Apple Silicon.

ah I wandered why it was such battery hungry garbage, now I know!

The tyrrany of the JS framework strikes again! Isn't VS code also a js ******** based app?
