![]() ![]() This, unfortunately, goes against the grain with how we actually use such platforms. The difference is more pronounced with calls with low number of participants, whereas with lots of participants (8+) the difference is negligable. The detail is a little more nuanced than this. In fact, you could use 75% less electricity if you turn off video. ![]() ![]() The reason for the difference I believe comes down to two things:ġ) Zoom is a lighter-weight platform that isn’t trying to do as much as Teams (this is evident in that Zoom is just a 26Mb download whereas Teams is 4x larger at 105Mb.Ģ) I suspect that the team at Zoom have been more thorough with code-optimisation (although there is no way to prove this without access to the source-code and co-operation from the vendors). This translates into C02 assuming you’re running your computer on a dirty energy supply, as many CPUs increase their energy draw depending on how hard they are working, and even if they don’t that extra CPU-time could be used for doing other things. My initial data shows that Teams uses 2-3 times more CPU time than Zoom for video calls. ![]()
