Zoom exe taking 60% CPU load

I have a dual display setup—one 4K monitor and another 1080x1920. When I turn on the camera, CPU usage goes above 60%, which also slows down screen sharing. When I turn off the camera, CPU usage returns to normal and screen sharing works fine. Is there any way to handle this?

To actually answer this we need to know the hardware and OS being used. I have 2-27" 2K, 1-65" 4K, and 1-24" 1K running off an NVIDIA Quadro RTX-4000 GPU. Screen sharing plus webcam still does not use 15% CPU from my i7 core. On a Lenovo mini with an i7-6700T CPU which has 2 displays it uses 53% CPU with screen share and webcam and about 45% without the webcam. Both computers are connected via ethernet for internet access. So most likely you do not have the necessary processing power with that computer.

Try doing a similiar session on someone's desktop computer with higher processing power.

You could also try going to settings > meetings and webinars > advanced meetings and turn on "turn on efficiency mode.

Thank you for the response.

I am using a Windows 10 LTSC 2019 IoT Enterprise device with an Intel Core i3-10110U CPU @ 2.10GHz and Intel UHD Graphics. The device is connected via Wi-Fi
