I haven't really checked but CPU usage on Teams while just being a member on a call is low, but using the camera with filters clearly uses more. Just checking CPU temps gives you more or less how much CPU is used by a program. So clearly it is just worst case scenario: using camera with filters on top.

My issue with Teams is that it uses a whole GB of ram on my machine with it just existing. It's like it loads the entire .NET runtime on the browser or something. IDK if it uses C# on the frontend.

Ram usage today is insane, because there are two types of app on the desktop today: web browsers, and things pretending not to be web browsers.

Pretty sure it's a webview app, so probably all javascript.

Unless you’re running out of RAM what’s the issue? Unused ram is wasted ram.

that im running out of ram maybe ?

Running out of ram isn’t a problem in itself. You want your ram to be in use as much as possible ideally, otherwise why do you have it?

By running out I mean you’re getting issues caused by something needing ram and it not being able to get any, not simply all your ram being in use.
