@mcc definitely video, also applies when my video is off but there is incoming video from others. I haven't tested out audio-only on both ends.

@darius So this is a really really strange thing to say, but have you tried shrinking the window containing the incoming video down real real small

I had a weird experience with Zoom running in Chrome where the bigger the window got the resource consumption increased geometrically, as if it were doing image postprocessing in CPU

@mcc well I'm trying this next time!!!

@darius Anyway, my unpopular (or possibly popular but unheeded) opinion is that videoconferencing ruins remote workplaces entirely while offering no advantages to a meeting over voice chat. video chat is like a meeting but you can only stare straight forward as if bound and gagged. in a irl meeting at least you can use your laptop but video chat takes your laptop over

@mcc wow, this does, in fact, seem to help a lot

@darius I don't know what causes this effect but every idea I can think of is kind of upsetting
