MS Teams....very depressing.

Whilst running the latest release build of Teams, it popped a notification up when I went to launch a new screen share to say that a new audio drive update was available, I installed it and checked in Activity Monitor and it now looks like its native!

There are new daily builds that looks to be completely fully arm64 now. For those who want to be Rosetta 2 free, you can try out these builds and check if it solves your problem.

Core Audio Driver as Apple Silicon
Haven't tried any calls because my work is done for today. But got maintenance tomorrow and I'll update y'all

I have clicked the check for updates option several times on my Mac Studio and still haven't gotten the AS version. I looked in Activity Manager and noticed that CoreAudio isn't even running on my MacBook Air M1. I quit Teams and opened it again. Still no CoreAudio. I don't recall it being an optional installation.
I checked several times with both my MacBook Air M1 and Mac Studio, and neither has updated to the AS-native core audio driver. I'll refrain from reinstalling from a GitHub download and will just wait for it to automatically update. I'm not needing it that much.
My MBA wasn't even showing CoreAudio as running when I looked in Activity Manager. It showed it after a reboot. Makes me wonder if the driver is absolutely necessary for Teams to function.
It's almost as though people in here are actually surprise that Microsoft would do a ████ job of writing a program.
Seriously, folks?
I'd never used Teams until my present job. And honestly, if it weren't for the fact that we all work remotely and it's a lot less bandwidth-intensive to send IMs around compared with audio streams, I question how much use it'd actually get then.
Right now, I happen to have the Linux client up and running on my LM install. It's ok. I do sometimes wish we were all just using IRC.

I would like to be logged into multiple Microsoft 365 Teams accounts like I can be on the smartphone app, but I have to keep on regularly logging out and back in again on the computer to switch between them and with 2FA for each of these accounts it is a big pain.
Does anyone use the Canon EOS Webcam Utility?
It used to work fine in Teams, same 14" M1 Max, same macOS 12.5.1, but now it doesn't even show up in the camera selection menu.
It works as expected in Skype, so it is definitely a Teams issue.
EDIT: Looks like M1 native is the issue.

Any suggestions for workarounds, besides reverting back to Intel Teams?

EOS Webcam Utility + Apple Silicon / M1 Mac
EOS Webcam Utility doesn't work with apps like Google Chrome with M1 Macs, but it should be able to easily with some help from Canon. I recently switched to an M1 powered Macbook Pro from an Intel one and noticed that after installing the utility, it didn't show up as an available camera. Doing...
Webcam Utility does not work with me Microsoft Teams for Apple silicon
The Microsoft teams download page still allows you to install an Intel version of Microsoft teams and it works with Canon Webcam Utility. However once the app updates and becomes Microsoft teams for Apple silicon, Webcam Utility no longer works. This is similar to the problem seeing with Zoom...

Great news. I was able to install the 22-Aug build without the Rosetta 2 prompt! 🙌
I did uncheck the Teams Audio Driver option during install, just to see if things work without it and my test calls seemed to run just fine. I'll continue to test it to see how things perform but thus far it's been very responsive on the MBA M1.

Newer builds with native Audio driver works so much better, it now uses only a fraction of the processor even during video calls with lots of people where previously it would consume almost the full CPU time. I don't think preview builds auto update so lets hope it reaches release channel soon.
Haven’t gave a go at this yet but I’ll install the new version tomorrow morning and give it a go for a couple of days this week.
How can it be draining more battery if its using a lot less CPU? You could try disabling GPU acceleration but maybe its something else on your system. I don't make calls on battery so I can't be sure though.
I believe any build after August 22 is fully native.
Same issue as @MrGunny94 . For that morning I was using the same compliment of apps, native Slack, Chrome and now added native Teams. It's the only new app in the suite of active apps and what is typically a full day or more was measured in hours.
FWIW, I don't have rosetta installed at all. If anything isn't native for me, it won't run.
After the recent Teams AS-native release, I only have one small Intel app that runs on my machine. A small utility called "Captin" - a small app that gives me a caps lock indicator on-screen (and audio) as my mechanical keyboard doesn't have an indicator light. I have yet to find an Apple Silicon native app that provides the same function. Everything else is Apple Silicon native -- finally!
I emailed 2 weeks ago the developer of "Captin" asking about a native Silicon update and got no response.
