Microsoft has made its Teams meeting platform up to fifty percent more efficient in the past year. That is what the company itself says.
Teams are Microsoft’s video conferencing module, a piece of software that has exploded in popularity over the past two years as more people work remotely. The company now says it has worked to make that software run better in recent months.
This mainly concerns improving how the camera works and how images are rendered. This should relieve the graphics card and make the software run more smoothly.
In particularly intensive meetings, with many video streams, this should result in a program that uses up to 50% less energy than a year ago.
“Going forward, we will continue to work with CPU and GPU builders to ensure that Teams video conferencing runs optimally on the next generation of chips,” Robert Aichner, principal group program manager at Microsoft, said in a company blog.
