2. Browse MS Teams https://teams.microsoft.com/

3. Login using your Microsoft account

4. Click on the browser option (...) from the right top of the browser (refer the below screenshot for steps)

Insufficient Heap Memory

Issue "Insufficient Heap Memory"

Using 64bit VM settings, min.heap=1024MB, min permgen=256MB, default fork arguments=[-Xmx1024m, -XX:MaxPermSize=256m]

**** WARNING: insufficent heap memory ****
The JVM reports 910 MB but we recommend at least 1024 MB +/- 20
Use your JVM's heap size option (like -Xmx1024M) to set that size.
Will fork a JVM to get enough memory.
********************************************************************************

Resolution

If you have just closed any java program then wait for a few minutes and give chance to garbage collection to remove the unwanted space and clean the Heap memory.
