The senior vice president of Microsoft Teams announced that Teams would be moving to their own Edge Webview2 Rendering Engine ditching Electron for seeking performance gains. It is marketed that Teams would consume 2x less memory as a result of the transition. It would be called Teams 2.0 and might ship with Windows 11 in late 2022.

    Weird that teams, which is not open source is commented here. Granted Electron is (though the major development comes from Chrome, which is not), but ditching Electron is a good thing on any platform, given its poor performance and resources handling, :) And as mentioned by @jokeyrhyme@lemmy.ml, it’s ironic it’s been replaced by some form of Edge, :)
