I don't use it too often for that, so can't really test it, sorry.Please let us know if it fixes the screen sharing bugor if it introduces new bugs
screen sharing still purple and green for me, I update daily with a new E build but save the previous day's installer in case I need to roll backPlease let us know if it fixes the screen sharing bug
Please let us know when the new builds fixed it.
. I update every week usually.To be honest, I’ve had no issues with Teams on the M1. But then again, all MS apps are pretty bad on Mac. Even the Windows versions aren’t great. If I can avoid all of them, I try. Having used Slack in the past, I’d prefer it in the enterprise. Teams has un-needed complexity. Channels are a mess. I’d go on, but too much to list.
I have to use Office, so I defer to using the web variants so I don’t ruin my MacOS install.

I’m using 90% of the times the web apps unless it’s highly comPlex Excels
Yeah i'm using the latest build and the bug isn't affecting me at all in the M1 Pro
Same here, this is the build Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.11911-E, I do not have any color issues. Regarding screen share issues I only had my camera blacking out but now it's fixed.
I did notice this build is consuming a bit more memory... But nothing crazy just 1.37GB.
How are you guys finding it? Man, I'm really happy that the Channels window is really fast now and don't have to wait like minute to load everything up.
Got a new M1 Mac on Friday. I don't use Teams at all (my institute's central admin do, but nobody else), but am doing an examination this week where the host institute want to use it so fired it up on Friday evening to check it worked. Seemed to start OK, so I thought I'd just leave it open in the background until I needed it...
A couple of hours later my battery was dropping like the proverbial stone, Teams was consuming every cpu cycle it could get its grubby little paws on and was completely unresponsive to boot. So I force stop the wretch and I'll open it when I need it (and shut it down once that's done). It is the only app I've had any problems with so far: MS Office apps, Slack, Zoom all fine, Mozilla apps seem to be running better than on the Intel Mac, it's just Teams (well I expect Docker to be not so good, but I knew that in advance). Luckily after this week I'm unlikely to use it again this year, so it's not a biggie for me, but it reflects poorly on Microsoft.

I installed the 1.5.00.11911 (edit: And 1.5.00.12110) and it's now doing the bug on both webcam and screen share. previously it was only the screen share. rolled back and now it's only the screen share.
For info, I'm using the new MBP 16" with M1 Pro and I'm using the built in webcam.

Yeah let's hope these guys can get a stable Beta going soon... Like I have been saying for 2 years now... I live on Teams not by choice but because I'm forced because my corporation is built around it for the end-user.
Just annoys me that Microsoft hasn't fixed this sooner that's all.
Same I'm forced to use it lol. So I'm hoping Microsoft will release the stable version ASAP lol
We got some new commits!
Let's give it a go shall we?
You have Microsoft Teams Version 1.5.00.12110-E. It was last updated on 25/04/2022.
Memory -
So screen sharing is still broken, takes up to 2 minutes to start and it shows weird colors in the screen sharing. Webcam OK
So we are still working with a broken share screen.

This is because the consumer version of teams and the business version are two different products. Just like Skype and Skype for Business. or Onedrive and Onedrive for business, etc.
yes, its insane
These Microsoft stacks are so crazy, having to explain to someone coming from Slack/Cisco they just keep asking why the hell is it like this and they are right makes no sense.
and on top of that they offer an iOS app that combines it all in single app. It's so so bad, really. They can obviously do it, but they just prefer to annoy their customers and do it the most confusing way possible.
I mean, the thing is.. They just keep building on top of trash so at this point they can't just start from scratch it does seem like with Webview2 they'll reboot 'apps' around.
One of my examples I usually give is the Microsoft Planner, an amazing app that isn't available for the desktop where you just have to generate a Web App if you want an app lol.
They are doing this for decades now, just look at Windows. It's layers on top of layers of never finished layers. It's absolutely insane.
12110 is working pretty great here, although I don't really share my own screen much. Thanks for posting the most recent builds here. One thing I've noticed, if you try to use the 3 dots menu and check for updates, it updates you to the Intel version. Have to make sure not to check for updates within Teams itself.
