For me, on the native Mac app, Teams works relatively ok in the beginning, but starts using more and more CPU and after a few minutes the whole computer becomes sluggish. There is some kind of a bug that resource usage grows over time. This has appeared a year or two ago. It's related to video decoding or encoding. I assume not many people use Macs at Microsoft or Teams at Apple?

Yesterday a colleague was trying to screenshare via teams for mac to another colleague (also on a mac) and somehow both their machines crashed. While it could be a coincidence, I suspect it was the teams app. The app is a dumpster fire right now, even though I use it to some of degree of success myself

There is no 'native' Mac app. Also everyone I've worked with at MS uses Teams in the browser. So I suspect not many at MS even use the desktop app.

As a fellow mac teams user, I feel you. Switching conversations takes a noticeable ~1s lag. Or basically clicking or scrolling anywhere, for that matter.
