Documentation Improvement Request

Can we have matching documentation added for Mac OS platform Microsoft Apps regarding improving their performance when used in tandem with microsoft defender or other similar anti-virus software?

Example Apps:

• Microsoft Teams
• Visual Studio Code
• Microsoft OneNote
• Microsoft Outlook

Right now only windows has documentation on recommended path exclusions for some microsoft products like Microsoft teams. Microsoft Teams is shown as excluded from scanning.

See the example document here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/troubleshoot/teams-administration/include-exclude-teams-from-antivirus-dlp

matching github doc

Here are some working examples of mdatp exclusions that would improve mac OS performance for Microsoft Apps:

Microsoft Teams

/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/Frameworks/Microsoft Teams Helper.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Teams Helper
/Applications/Microsoft Teams.app/Contents/MacOS/Teams

Microsoft OneNote

/Applications/Microsoft OneNote.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft OneNote

Microsoft Visual Studio Code

/Applications/Applications/Visual\ Studio\ Code.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron
