Symptoms of Microsoft Teams Performance Issues

Solution: Disable Hardware graphics acceleration

Hardware graphics acceleration when using a dedicated GPU will improve performance, but when using a shared GPU, the performance can be degraded and cause high CPU load. As a result, disabling the hardware acceleration can improve the performance of Outlook.
To disable Hardware GPU acceleration, follow these steps:
- In Teams, click the elipses (…) in the top right
- Select Settings
- Click Generatel
- Uncheck Disable Hardware Graphics Accelleration.
- Click Ok
- Finally, close Teams and reopen for the setting to take effect.
