Teams becomes faster and more reliable: focus on performance, memory, and experience

What’s new in Teams

Microsoft explains how, throughout 2025, they have continued to fine‑tune the new Teams to feel faster and more responsive on Windows, Mac, and mobile. Improvements are especially noticeable in video meetings, app launch, and switching between chats and channels, with measurements at the 95th percentile to reflect the experience on lower‑end devices and poorer networks. They have reduced layout shifts and interface freezes and increased the share of sessions that remain fully responsive.

Performance and reliability in practice

The work includes a simplified video rendering pipeline that reduces the number of internal calls, enabling faster video startup and fewer rendering errors. Integration with WebView2 is used for consistent rendering on Windows and Mac and to roll out features more quickly. This is evident in faster switching in chat and channels, as well as a lower memory footprint when idle. On macOS, startup time has been clearly reduced through system‑level optimizations, and on mobile, battery consumption during meetings has been reduced through more efficient background handling.

Memory and efficiency

Memory usage remains a priority. The new Teams has already halved memory requirements compared to the classic client, and further optimizations—among other things via WebView2 APIs—reduce Windows idle memory usage even more. Microsoft also uses automated leak detection and telemetry to quickly identify and address memory issues at scale.

Insights from customers and administration

To connect technical metrics to the actual user experience, telemetry is combined with customer feedback from multiple channels. In the Teams admin center, there is now a Teams Client Health dashboard that helps IT see which client versions exist in the organization and makes it easier to keep users up to date. Microsoft also highlights improvements in update mechanisms, such as Delivery Optimization and distributed update windows, to reduce bandwidth impact.

What this means for those of you using SharePoint and Teams

For end users, the changes deliver faster switching between channels and chats, a more stable video experience in meetings, and fewer interface disruptions. For IT departments, lower memory usage and clearer client health can simplify troubleshooting, updates, and capacity planning. Together, this can provide a smoother collaboration experience across Teams and SharePoint, especially in larger environments with mixed devices.
