I have Zoom 6.1.11 from Zoom’s web site and it installs and works fine except periodically will consume 95+ % of all my CPU while Im in a meeting - which I am all day .

Anyone managed to stop this ? Behavious is same on wayland or x based desktop and across kde or gnome

It’s a Zoom problem, and has always been like this, even when I used it on Linux Mint or Fedora. It’s not specific to Rocky.

I thought so too given the direction of discussions in various other forums. Just thought I would ask in case of a recent known work around as said discussions were quite old.
