Hey Dear,

If your computer freezes frequently and regularly, you might have insufficient Ram. You can consider upgrading your Ram or reinstalling the operating system to solve this issue. Modifying Bios settings may put the system in the freeze mode. Resetting the Bios to default could fix your freezing problem.

Same issues. Evidently a lot of people are. No answers from online support and when you call you get disconnected.

Hi,

I am experiencing the same problem with Zoom and Kubuntu 22.04. Had no problems with earlier versions. In my case it is definitely not a RAM-issue.

Zoom freezes, after a while sound and video also stop, but I can stop the Zoom-app and re-open it. Kubuntu remains working as usual.

Today I opened Zoom, the app-surface opened and when I tried to enlarge it to full screen, Zoom froze.

Is anyone having an idea what might be wrong?
