Good news for owners of Mac con Apple Silicon. These days, Microsoft announced that Teams it will work natively on the computers of the Cupertino company. A good option for anyone who owns a MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, 24-inch iMac or Mac Studio powered by the M1 or M2 processor family. On all these devices, therefore, Microsoft’s communication app will finally work at maximum speed.
Microsoft Teams: App works natively on Macs with Apple Silicon
Designed for Intel processors, Microsoft Teams initially had some difficulty working with Apple Silicon. Therefore, a version running with full native performance is a very welcome improvement for users. According to Microsoft, this would mean “a significant increase in performance, ensuring efficient use of device resources”, in addition to an optimized overall experience. In particular, the company specifically mentions scenarios where you might be using multiple high resolution monitors during a call as one of the areas where you will see improvements.
As reported by the tech giant, Microsoft Teams will be phased out to everyone. This means that all users will be able to have it available globally in the coming months, although it is not certain by what time. Apple first introduced Macs with Apple Silicon at the end of 2020: these processors are based on the Arm architecture, the same that powers smartphones on sale on the current market. Because of this, they are very different from Intel processors, which requires a different level of compatibility – which is why Microsoft has taken so long to make its Communication App available -. Over the past couple of years, however, we’ve seen many apps add native support for Apple Silicon. Teams, therefore, is just one of many that have added this support.
