 ANC / HFA 

 If Active Noise Cancellation and/or High Fidelity Audio is enabled, this can significantly reduce Performance of Microsoft Teams. 

 One specific Case, when using a ANC-capable Headset and having ANC enabled for both the Headset itself and Teams, this can lead to a race-condition between the two Systems that will impact performance while in Meetings. 

 It is recommended, to only use one ANC System and disable HFA if not necessary
