New Teams system requirements
Microsoft Teams can be installed on PCs, Macs, and mobile devices, and can also be accessed via a web browser. Most end users can start using Teams by installing the client. After they install the new Teams client, all they need to do is sign in with their username and password.
The new Teams client delivers up to two times faster app performance while using 50% less memory with the same system requirements that classic Teams has.
