Zoom workspace spiking CPU usage. Shows different from OS task manager.
I use zoom for church with OBS to show multimedia during service meetings using virtual camera tool while recording meeting as well.
Recently I've been having performance issues during meetings since constantly my laptop will hit 100% usage, this only happens when using zoom. I do not use the sharing screen since basically i share everything to OBS virtual camera.

PC specs are:
Core i7 8665u (4 core)
16gb RAM ddr4
500gb sata ssd

Waiting room is enabled under my Zoom settings, but yet everyone that joins my meetings are not placed in a waiting room. I have verified these are not co-hosts. This randomly started happening and it seems the setting is not taking. I have disabled and saved and re-enabled a few times. Still no luck.

We are hosting a company charades party on Zoom utilizing breakout rooms. The actor needs to communicate with the host directly via chat. is this possible? Also, we have enable the "chat to anyone" feature but the participant in the breakout room can't seen me to send a message to the host. How can we make that happen?

Since Zoom Support is basically non-existent (multiple hours in now with a support person basically asking me to try a different browser and no follow up), I'm here for help. I recorded an hour long video meeting and saved it to the cloud. I go to my account, and there is the meeting along with video, audio and a text file (two messages were sent in chat). 

I hit download and the only thing that downloads is the text. I try again and again and again. Same result. I go to a new browser, clear cookies, clear cache, sign out/sign back in. Same result. I have tried on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Chroe Mobile. Same results. I deleted the text file in hopes that it would then download the others. Same results. Tried to just solely download the audio. Same with video. Same results. 

When I click the downloads, nothing happens. When I click on the file or share the link, it takes me to a new page with a video player that has an X over it and it says, "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported." 

Before I recorded this video, I recorded a shorter one just before it to make sure this worked. That one did. I could click on the video. I could download it. All worked fine. I used the same exact setup to make this video. 

My internet is not only stable, but extremely fast (250mb download, 175mb upload). I have no other issues with anything else I'm trying to do for work. Only this Zoom recording. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I join someone's Zoom room for the first time, it takes a loooong time to connect—like about 2-3 minutes. After that first time joining, Zoom joins the room in about 10 seconds. I am using the latest version of the Zoom app 6.1.11 (39163) on a 2023 MacBook Air (Apple M2 chip), running Mac OS Sonoma 14.6.1.

At various times I have tried closing all open apps, restarting my computer, and restarting the Zoom app. Is there something else I can try?

Thanks!

I have a wired connection to the internet. I do not use wifi and do not want to.  I am experiencing "Your Internet Connection is Unstable" too constantly. I have made sure to have as little running in the background as possible. As well, I usually have from 1 to 25 additional people on at the same time as me during some of the meetings. I need help because connecting online is critical for my business and this issue is causing a loss of revenue.
