Thank you for sharing what you found! This might help others in the future. It appears MS changed out the app with a newer version. It is a cross platform peer collaboration app. And looks like it comes already “on” by default. So it is probably using resources while “listening” and “refreshing” for new messages.

This is also a resource problem with website chat applications that use “Ajax” and refresh constantly also.

Sound right dayglored?

Here is one that baffles me...

“Get the Microsoft Teams progressive web app on Linux”

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/download-app

Umm no... There are a bunch of open source cross platform apps just like it which are not MS, why the heck would Linux users even do that? :)

Yep.

I have to run Teams for my company communications. On Win11, I use the native app, that's its natural habitat and it runs best there. On Mac, the native app is pretty good; or you can run in a browser (Chrome works better than Firefox). On Linux, I only use a browser (Chrome).

The MS Linux download page you linked is 2-1/2 years old now, the PWA is largely discredited. Beware, I had nothing but trouble when I tried it back then.
