I've been using a pre-release of the new version for a couple of months now and it's MUCH better than the prior version. Also, it should be noted that prior version had a security flaw, so it's worth upgrading to the latest release.
@arstechnica I installed the new version on my MacBook today. It’s so much better. TIP: You can uninstall your old teams first, then install the new Teams package for a cleaner install. It also removes the switch at the top.
@arstechnica updated it on my Mac and indeed it feels way snappier. Especially after I disabled the animations - whatever that means cause I didn’t notice any difference from that standpoint 😆
Hope that now it will not stop responding to clicks every now and then like it did for years before 🫠

"Rebuilt Microsoft Teams app promises twice the speed and half the RAM usage" this will be nice since Teams is clunky & slow on my work laptop & makes everything malfunction if I'm on a video or screen sharing call. Ie. It's terrible. It didn't lock the laptop up 3 years ago, so either they've bloated it more or work's "endpoint protection" is more intrusive.
@arstechnica I love that we're still circling around dependency issues in 2023. Money quote:
"Macs don't benefit quite as much from the new app since, unlike Windows, they don't have any of the Edge WebView2 files built-in—a WebView2 app on macOS is a lot like an Electron app, in that it includes its own dependencies and needs to update them separately from other WebView2 apps on the same system."
