Response lags in Figma Desktop when sharing the screen with MS Teams on Mac
I’ve noticed uncomfortable lags when I share my screen via MS Teams and present something in Figma Desktop. It feels like fps drops drastically - from 60 to around 15-20. Mouse hover feedbacks with a noticeable delay. These lags I started notice after updating to macOS Sequoia.
My setup:
- Macbook Pro 2021 M1 Pro with 32GB RAM, macOS Sequoia 15.0
- External monitor HP Z27 connected via usb-c thunderbolt
- Figma Desktop 124.4.7
- MS Teams for mac Version 24244.507.3125.3475
I started investigating to identify the root cause and so far I figured out the next:
- The issue is only with Figma Desktop and MS Teams mac app. If I use Figma in browser or MS Teams in browser, everything is smooth.
- The issue is more noticeable with UI3. When I switch back to previous UI, it works much smoother, however not perfect and smooth as without sharing.
- When I share the internal Macbook screen the issue is less to not noticeable. At least there is a difference. I tried different thunderbolt cables, no differences.
- I tried other screen sharing apps like Zoom, no issue with using zoom app and share the screen.
- I tried the Miro mac app as it is similar, no issue with it. When I share my screen, Miro works the same as without sharing.
- Also it seems like the larger the file the more laggy it is. But again, only when sharing. As soon as I stop sharing, it scrolls/moves perfectly smooth.
Clearing cache, reinstalling apps - no result.
