And, by the way, the Teams audio driver, is it necessary? Would Teams install -and work- properly without it?
Got a tip for us?

It’s optional, as far as I know, and provides several audio-related features. Others have said here that there is an option to disable its installation, but the installer seems to insist on getting Rosetta regardless.
So then Teams isn't really ARM native if it still comes with an x86 driver that is apparently impossible to get rid of for now despite it being optional in theory? Oh well...
I just downloaded the latest version released today 1.5.00.22251. Still the same.
Are you doing an update from within the app, or checking manually on some download page?
Not OP but I have to manually download any updates, none of these builds I've been running the past couple months update themselves
Manually. I check this page for new versions:
Now 1.5.00.22263 but still no change to the installer requiring Rosetta.

I'm going to uncheck developer preview on mine in September. Wanted to give it enough time that it doesn't revert back to the Intel version.
I'm still confused as to why my suggestion to enable developer preview instead of clicking a manual download link was thumbs downed.
Perhaps because the option to use the developer preview update channel can be blocked by Teams admins.
The main download link on the Microsoft Teams page now points to the Universal installer.
As per this page:
github.com
The production build is listed as:

And when you go to the teams download page:
The link when you start downloading the file is the same as above.
I had been running the preview build shortly after the announcement about it rolling out (the prod build hadn't been updated at that point)... but have uninstalled that to get the prod build.

Looks like the Core Audio Driver that was still intel has been removed in the latest Prod release:
1.5.00.22362
1.5.00.22362
Does this require a reinstallation to get the Universal core audio driver, or will it automatically update to it?
I'm on version 1.5.00.23757 and I'm still running the Intel-based driver.
I am not sure why yours still shows that you are running the Intel based driver. However, I am not running the stable version. I am running the last build on Sept 1. It shows "Apple" in the activity monitor for the audio driver.
I feel like mine upgraded automatically and removed the Core Audio driver.
As mentioned above I'm running the prod release 22362 and have the native audio driver.
As mentioned above I'm running the prod release 22362 and have the native audio driver.
I don't know how that happened, but the installer package for 22362 definitely only includes the Intel driver. My Air also upgraded itself to 22362 but did not get a native driver.
I always go to https://github.com/ItzLevvie/MicrosoftTeams-msinternal/blob/master/defconfig and download the latest build and install it. I don't even bother with the upgrade option in Teams. It has never worked for me.
I did a reboot for other reasons the other day, and upon reboot, the Intel core audio driver does appear in my Activity monitor again. It definitely did not appear before the reboot... very weird, but would confirm your suspicions!
Had a weird issue this morning with my desktop (but not laptop) where the meeting was clear for about 2 seconds, and then it changed to static making voices inaudible. Reboot didn't fix it. Quit Logitech G-Hub and Logitune, which didn't fix it. Uninstalled and reinstalled Teams (without the core audio driver). Still didn't fix it. Rebooted again and it spontaneously fixed itself.
Is there any benefit to using the core audio driver? I elected not to install it with this installation.

Didn't understood. Will Teams ditch Electron for Silicon versions or are gonna be the same Electron sht with some performance tweaks? 🤔
Electron is the platform the app is built on, however Electron released version 11 that was Apple Silicon native in November 2020, Microsoft just took this long to migrate to the newer version
