How to disable WebView2 services

I have disabled all features related to calendar, email, whiteboard, etc. in my Zoom account and noticed that several services are still running in background (iFrames probably that are running somewhere):

They consume an insane amount of RAM, almost 400 MiB for processes that don't do anything or they should be disabled.

 

I'm sure this can be a bug. I reported it also. Does anyone know if there is any way to fully disable them?

I can see that no one posted a reply to your query but were you able to find a workaround to disable those services?

Close Zoom Client and rename:
C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Zoom\bin\zWebview2Agent.exe
, for example to zWebview2Agent_Backup.exe
I upgraded from Zoom 5.17 to 6 and got multiple hang-ups (scheduling appointments, viewing appointments), but now I am able to work in the new version Zoom Workplace thanks to this trickery.

What is the result from removing these services?

I reduce the Zoom memory usage to under 142MB by disabling all the calendar, email and contact integration with Gmail / Google workspace.  I can still see my scheduled zoom meetings in the app, but this finally got rid of the duplication zoom had with showing me my emails, and calendar items, which I could already see in my Google account.

 

Here's the link to disabling calendar and contacts

And for me I disabled -

Calendar and contacts integration

And after making these updates, I just had to log out of my zoom client and back in to see the memory improvement.
