I wouldn't mind downgrading audio/video quality if that's the cost to have a relatively silent laptop.</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2024 19:48:01 GMT wolruf 2024-06-11T19:48:01Z Throttle/Limit CPU/GPU usage when using Google Meet - avoid crazy fan noise https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/throttle-limit-cpu-gpu-usage-when-using-google-meet-avoid-crazy/m-p/59192#M20945 <P>on macOS 14.5.1 and x86 laptop (e.g Macbook Pro 2020 with i7/2.3Ghz/Iris GPU), and for the past years, at least since 2017, Firefox joining a Google Meet kicks off fans like crazy, making a ton of noise.
