Hi folks,
On one of my F36 installations (but not on another), during web meetings using either Zoom or Google meet, my CPU usage starts to go through the roof, to the extent that the video and my system in general becomes very very laggy.
I thought it may be related to not having hardware accelerated video, and I’ve enabled that, but it still doesn’t seem to make any difference. Here’s an example:
intel_gpu_top does show that video is being offloaded to the hardware (“video”):
At the moment, I’m in Google meet call, and my load is quite high:
15:35:56 up 18:34, 2 users, load average: 10.59, 9.13, 6.50
If I change the window, so that the meeting is “in the background”, I can see the CPU usage drop over time:
