I feel sorry for the people whose managers will understand this that their teams are now going to be twice as efficient in their work.

Every time they update teams at work it seems like it is losing features. Used to be you could have two windows open so you could chat on screen one while screen two was the meeting but now it's all in the same window.

I've gone through the settings and can't find anything related to that. But, also, we're on a weird contact for the software so maybe that's the culprit.

This means meetings will be over in half the time?

Are they actually writing a native application? Or still using a shitty electron app.

Another article states they switched from electron to webview.

They moved from Electron to Microsoft’s Edge WebView2 technology. The big performance gains came from finishing their migration from Angular to React (only needing to load / manage one primary framework), and refactoring that old code with an eye towards performance as they went. Still not native unfortunately.

Just don't pay attention to how much memory it consumes

Yeah! Shorter meetings!

Or not fast in that way?

This seems does not seem press release worthy. While valuable, I am not sure 99.9% of Teams users give a damn.

Will the battery in my Mac M1 Pro will last longer than 3 hours running Teams meetings now? Teams has been an absolute disaster of an application when it comes to performance.

And will always want to update right as your meeting is starting.

So its only a partial eternity to use that steaming pile of crap now? I hadn’t noticed with all the random reloading it forces on me at work.

Will it remember my settings for more than a couple of weeks?

I feel like I have been seeing "later this year" for Faster Teams for the past two years.

Man I hate Teams big time.
Was forced down our throats coming from Slack and it's like night and day

Teams was frankensteined to become something it wasn't originally intended for - it wasn't meant to be a competitor to Slack, or Zoom, or the new Skype for Business. So I take it that they're finally getting around to re-writing some of the fundamental structure to support what it has become. One can hope, anyway.

Still bloated and slow as heck. Twice as fast as an eternity to start up is still an eternity.

Meanwhile they've "updated" the Linux users from a working electron app to a PWA that doesn't even do notifications. Completely unacceptable for production use.

Yeah well twice zero is still zero. I like it better than Zoom but if it were up to me my workplace would all be using Discord lol

Great, now its inscrutable interface can confuse me twice as fast.

How anyone decided to call that thing Teams without defining ‘team’ anywhere is beyond me, and don’t get me started on trying to figure out who is on what team.

Sick, now Teams can use all 8GB of my work computer’s RAM instead of just the 4GB.

Simply the worst video conference app ever made. Now twice as bad?

I went from WebEx to Teams. Can confirm web ex fucking sucks and Teams was a huge upgrade. I have very few problems with Teams tbh. Sometimes calls will only ring on a subset of all my devices, but that’s the only bug that bothers me semi-regularly.

I wonder if they fixed any real issues, like actual full screen video conferencing.

God I hate Teams. Faster performance is a good step but it’s still so much worse than slack.

Can I copy and paste images yet?

I've been able to do that with Trello for YEARS.

Without this feature, makes taking screenshot notes and troubleshooting on projects simply unusable.

But is it still going to lag when you share your screen to your coworkers?

Teams was hell at first, but now it seems good and stable, with some random bugs. I hope they will works more on bugs and performance and less on it's graphics.

Great because it’s gotten half as fast lately so we will be back to where we started.

I feel just the opposite. Hated Slack, love Teams. The biggest problems I've had with Teams tend to be user inflicted, particularly on the file side of things and permissions management.

I didn't hate Skype either. And I swear to God, fockin' AOL Instant Messenger and a conference call-in/old school partyline would work just fine for a majority of necessary collaboration at my job.
