Microsoft will roll out an "Efficiency Mode" for Teams (Windows and Mac) in early–mid May 2026 to improve performance on CPU- and memory-constrained devices by dynamically lowering video resolution, optimizing app launch behavior, and showing a visual indicator when active. The feature is enabled by default on eligible devices, can be disabled via Settings > General, and Microsoft advises helpdesk teams to update documentation and inform users; no compliance or security incident is described.
