I'm the only one who freezes up during meetings

During the ZOOM meeting,
・When you are the only participant
・If you start a breakout room and are the only one left in the main room
・When spotlight is placed on everyone
When only you are visible on the screen, the ZOOM app becomes extremely slow.

Other than that, it works without any problems, so I don't think there are any problems with the communication environment, PC specs, camera, etc.

Please lend me your wisdom to resolve this.

Am I reading this correctly?
Are you saying that, in the 3 scenarios you describe (where you use the word "you" to mean yourself,)
you ("I" in the subject line)
look frozen?

I'm no expert, but I've seen a frozen image of someone when I know they've just left me alone inthe main room and joined a breakout room, so I think it just means they're "between rooms" or, in your case, Zoom isn't prioritizing transmitting video of you out, since there's nobody left in the room with you to see it, and there's enough going on taking up Zoom's capacity as it is.

 

#1 and #2: I'm curious why it's important to you to not look frozen when you're all alone, anyways.

#3: I don't really understand how (or why) one would place a spotlight on everyone.
