Have you tried the PWA? I use it in Linux and it's much more performant than the Electron version. You can use extensions too with it, like uBlock Origin, which makes it even faster.

I mean it's still Teams so faster here means still not fast at all, and it still suffers from many other UX problems, but definitely worth trying if you are forced to use some form of Teams.

It's a maximum of 4 videos at once, isn't it? Sadly at least a couple of our monthly teams calls are bigger than that. Thank you though. It's nice to know I'm not the only one that feels the pain!

Hmm, what? Do you mean like max 4 participants in Teams calls? No I don't think there's a restriction like that, it should work exactly the same as the Electron version. Our team also has more than 4 people. Maybe you are thinking some restrictions on the free version of Teams? If you or your company is paying for Teams/Office, then you get the same "premium" features on the PWA as you would with the Electron app when you login.

If you go to teams.microsoft.com with Chrome or Edge and login, it should suggest installing the PWA [1].
