Running Microsoft Teams in Parallels on Apple Silicon

GeekyOnion@beehaw.org to Technology@beehaw.org – 11 points –

Hi folks!

I’m thinking about getting a Mac Mini M2 Pro, but I want to find out if people have had poor experiences running things like video calls from Teams in a guest OS. A couple of people I’ve talked to use the MacOS client for Teams, but I want to keep the accounts on the Windows install isolated from the host.

Anyone have perspective on the video and audio quality?

... another option: you use the web based Teams.

If you want more isolation, you could have a dedicated web browser for it.

Of course, the web version of Teams has a few annoying limitations (you can only see 4 people at the same time, opening multiple tabs to Teams kinda breaks it, etc), but it is endurable.

It at least performs better in browser than as a desktop app, for me at least.
