Microsoft Plots Teams Overhaul to Boost Performance - Reports

The Verge's report says that a preview of the new Teams app will be available to customers late next month, with Microsoft adding the option to revert to the current application should a user need it.

Microsoft Teams Framework

The technology giant significantly upgraded its Microsft Teams framework in November 2022 to bring substantial performance benefits to Mac and Windows users.

Microsoft added various technical benefits, including rapidly rendering the HTML tree and more efficient management of JavaScript and serialising arrays. To achieve the right results for its users, Microsoft conducted an in-depth analysis of the key user scenarios attributed to Microsoft Teams. Using in-depth research and A/B experimentation, Microsoft was able to pinpoint available areas for framework enhancement.

The performance upgrades were designed to provide a more fluid, consistent experience for users who leverage Teams for day-to-day requirements.

At the time, Microsoft stated that the framework update was just one part of the company's continued focus on delivering meaningful performance improvements for Teams users.
