How to get Teams to work with Catalina

With MacOS Catalina the ability to use Teams is almost non-existent. Teams consumes so much CPU that my 2017 MBP overheats and drains the battery inside of a 45 minute call. The application has been removed and reinstalled multiple times and even on a brand new Mac with nothing else installed. Does anyone have a way to get Teams to function on Catalina with acceptable load?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

I've solved my problem. Given the 12 months of kernel panics with Catalina, lockdown, the need to video conference, and the inability to do so on an apple devices i just purchased the top of the range Dell XPS 13 to use as my daily driver machine. This will obviously fix the majority of my issues.

I see Microsofts reply is essentially is to either not use a Mac or to close all other applications, scale down the resolution of the retina display to 1920x1080 and to not have any other external displays connected as the way to use Teams on a Mac. Seems that Teams and a Mac are not compatible and that another device is required for using teams.
