Zoom on Linux is using 2-7% CPU when idle

[rxtx]

Zoom on Linux is using ~2-7% CPU when idle and minimized to tray.

Tried on Ubuntu 20.04 and Debian 11 with KDE Plasma.

This drains my laptop battery.

How to fix it?

I'm having the exact same issue om Ubuntu 21.10.

Same problem for me with Debian 11 on amd64 and Zoom 5.10.7 (but the problem has been present for a long time)

Same Ubuntu 22.04, zoom Version: 5.11.3 (3882)

This is the case for all our company Linux computers. It eats an average of 7% when doing nothing - not in a meeting. Is it possible to have at least an acknowledge from the Zoom team ?

The same for me - Ubuntu 22.04. Plz fix it zoom team.

Same problem, has been present for a long time (and I note this thread is 1y old now):

Zoom 5.14.0-1 on Archlinux (6.2.7 kernel)

Has been a problem for every version of zoom I have used for at least six months.

This continues.  Zoom support says it's "expected".   

The client is consuming more CPU idle than Xorg.  🤔

I have an update from Zoom support.

The dev team has found several locations to optimize.  

There may be some hope for this soon.
