I use zoom to attend regular meetings. I normally do this on my HP Envy laptop which is only about a year old, without any problems. I have not changed any settings but about a month ago I suddenly started to get low bandwidth message displayed, when I joined my meeting and the screen size would be minimal and keep freezing.
Has anyone any idea what causes this. I am in contact with my broadband supplier who is looking into it but progress is slow. In the meantime I am having to use my iPad for zoom meetings which is OK but nit ideal.

I've a similar, but different issue: My PC's bandwidth in generell is reduced as soon as I start ZOOM. It not even needs an active zoom call.
The bandwith of my PC as a whole reduces immediately from 900 MBit/s (Gigabit-fiber connection) to 3 MBit/sec the moment I start the ZOOM app. Even for other applications.
As soon as I kill ZOOM via taskmanager, the bandwidth recovers instantly.
Any ideas?

Hello!
Regards from Germany! 🙂
Finally, after months, I have found what I believe to be a "countermeasure" for a WINDOWS error.
i found the solution on a German website (pcwelt.de; translated "pcworld"...) which describes a feature of windows:
Windows apparently tries to ensure sufficient bandwidth for streaming software and therefore throttles the bandwidth for other applications or tries to share the bandwidth "fairly" between all applications.
This feature does not always seem to work properly.
I don't know what triggers this feature either, but the solution is as follows:
You have to change an entry in the WINDOWS registry database!
The Throttling can be disabled as follows:
This solved my problem permanently!
Maybe this is the right solution for you, too?
The link to the German website you can find here (let Google translate... 😉 )

Hope this helps you!
