Microsoft has significantly reduced latency for Windows and Mac users of the Teams desktop client in some critical scenarios when interacting with the application.

Jeff Chen, a Microsoft Principal Group Program Manager for Microsoft Teams, said today that the app is now more than 30% faster when switching between chat and channel threads.

Chen said these drastic performance improvements result from the upgraded Teams framework, which now renders the HTML tree faster, and runs JavaScript and serializes arrays more efficiently.

"The most common action for a user in Teams is to switch between different chats, channels, and activity feeds," Chen explained on Tuesday.

"Over the past two years, switching between chat threads is now 32% faster, switching between channels is 39% faster. This leads to a more fluid experience that will keep you in the flow."

Redmond has also worked on other ways to optimize Microsoft Teams' performance, including improved meeting responsiveness and joining times.

"We are excited to share that the framework upgrade improved the join time by 21%, and responsiveness during meetings has improved. For example, the latency of raising your hand has improved by 16%," Chen added.
