Why does my teams app keep freezing when in a meeting?

I am presenting a live powerpoint for education purposes and have students share and unshare their screen at many points during the lesson. I freeze at random points and have to quit the program multiple times throughout my shift. We have cleared teams cache and temp files multiple times and it may fix it for an hour and then it does it all over again.

    Teams is based on the GUI library "Electron" which is known to cause glitches and be buggy in general. It's essentially just another web browser in terms of resources. This has a tendency to chomp on your precious RAM, by filling it up with, essentially, a bunch of useless things needed to run the Electron library.

    Moreover unless you have more than sufficient resources to load this program, or until Electron is either made many factors faster, or Electron is swapped out for a different GUI library; teams will be generally buggy and sluggish to use.

    Personally I recommend switching to any other chat program, as it will likely contain many of the features needed; or simply wait until microsoft cares to update or patch the many problems with teams.

    I can't create another windows account because it's my work account.

    We have done all this multiple times and the problem still persists.

    I can't use the web platform for work purposes. We have to use the app. I had no issues prior to the latest update and now teams freezes and disconnects me from ethernet at the same time.

    I have all of the required specifications. However, I am unable to close all programs to run a teams meeting. I have to have other programs open for work.
