Question

Zoom uses absurd amount of memory and CPU..

I've been having this problem for months, but today I upgraded to version 6.2.3 (Linux, Ubuntu) and it got much worse. I was recording a Zoom meeting and I noticed lag when writing on the whiteboard. I opened `htop` and saw that Zoom was using the CP.===

Sounds like you have hardware that lacks sufficient computing resources. I am running Zoom on a Windows 11 PC with an NVIDIA GPU and an i7 at 3.4GHz with 16 cores and 32GBs of RAM. Zoom is using 672MB of RAM and less than 1% CPU even when recording to the local drive.
