Edge: Bringing WebView2 to Teams and beyond
summary
Teams re-architects the desktop client as a Standard C++ WebView2 app that shares Edge binaries, reduces working set by 200 MB and cuts memory use up to 20% via the set memory usage target API, while a native media library renders audio/video directly into the WebView window; Evergreen WebView2 supplies security updates and keeps packages lean; WebView2 preview is available on HoloLens 2 (Unity demo embeds 3D models), Xbox support is coming, and developers can migrate from EdgeHTML to get modern web APIs and better remote debugging.
