Microsoft Teams update reduces latency by 30%.

Microsoft has reduced the latency of the Teams desktop client for Windows and Mac.

Jeff Chen, Microsoft Principal Group Program Manager at Microsoft Teams, announced that users can navigate between chats and channels 30% faster.

According to Chen, switching between chats and channels is the most common action in Teams. The program manager says the new Teams framework works faster thanks to improvements in the execution of HTML, JavaScript and arrays.
