Is your PC sluggish because of Teams? Microsoft promises a lightweight mode to fix it
Summary
Microsoft is adding an Efficiency Mode to Teams to cut memory use and improve performance on lower-spec devices. The mode activates automatically on PCs with limited RAM, fewer CPU cores, or integrated graphics, and it adjusts video resolution and startup behavior to reduce load. IT admins can also disable the feature tenant-wide or per user through a policy setting. A known issue on hybrid GPU systems can still misidentify the graphics processor and lower video quality unnecessarily, with a fix expected in July 2026.
