Endless video freezing, loss of audio, on a Chromebook

[BrianArrigo]

It seems nearly impossible for me to get a smooth meeting experience while use a Chromebook. Intermittent video freezing, loss of audio ... this is happening frequently enough that participation in the meeting is impossible while using a Chromebook. I'm using either the PWA or the browser. Happens in both cases. How do I fix this? 

I've closed/disabled all browser extensions. Closed all browser tabs. Closed all other apps. The ONLY thing I'm running is the Zoom PWA, or the Zoom meeting in a browser tab, with nothing else open.

I have very fast internet speeds, and plenty of system resources available to run the meeting (see below).

System: 

Google Pixelbook Go (atlas, version 97.14324.0)

Intel(R) Core(TM) m3-8100Y CPU

8 GB RAM

I ran the diagnostics below while on a Zoom call in which I could not maintain a smooth connection. The call was frozen or lacked audio for (I'd estimate) 30-40% of a one hour video call.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the PWA for Cb, and still frequent intermittent freezing and audio interruptions.   By necessity we have install the PWA,  so can the-powers -that-be in the Zoom/Chromebook tech sphere please improve their product.  Zoom is a must for many of us,  and we don't want to buy another device and ditch our Cbs.   Any other suggestions??  Thanks.

I am having the same issue on my partner's brand new high end Chromebook with i5 processor.  Download speeds exceed 250MBPs.  This needs to be resolved ASAP.
