People tell me I'm freezing
People tell me that I'm freezing when I talk on Zoom meetings. This happens fairly regularly.
Platform:
MacBook Pro, i5 quad-core, 16gb RAM
macOS 11.6.1 Big Sur
Dongle w/Logitech webcam & Blue Yeti microphone
What we've tried, which seemed to make no difference:
Speed test (fine), upgraded bandwidth (twice) to 400mbps/20mbps, remote testing of line (fine)
Updated macOS to 11.6.1 from 11.6.0.
Replaced router from Spectrum provided to Netgear purchased
Performed disk repair (disk utility) (fine)
Deselected hardware acceleration (advanced video settings)
Deselect "touch up my appearance"
Still freezing for others.
What we've done since that last meeting (but haven't yet had a chance to test it out enough to reproduce freezing):
Reset NVRAM (twice)
Hardware diagnostic (fine)
Uninstall and reinstall Zoom
Other than reverting to two paper cups and a string, is there anything else we might be missing? Thanks in advance for any recommendations. I am convinced there must be a reason and that consistently stable Zoom meetings is possible.
