Teams hogs the bandwidth during updates or downloads
Teams pulls updates and cache content with no respect for QoS. On a small office the whole floor notices.
Try this first
- 1Configure a QoS policy via GPO or Intune for Teams ports
- 2Pin Teams to specific media ports via TeamsClientConfiguration
- 3Schedule big updates outside office hours through Intune rings
- 4Cap video resolution in calls when the WAN is small
When to bring us in
For chronic congestion: deploy SD-WAN or apply QoS on the gateway itself.
