Jitsi makes one of my friend's MacBooks fan too loud so we can't use it.

Perhaps your friend would benefit from the phone app. I use it on an old iPhone SE and it works for hours without issue.

I know it's not ideal and not everyone has one, but couldn't your friend wear a headset so the microphone isn't right next to the fans?

The problem isn't the user, it's the software.

I'm no Zoom fan, but in the Zoom meeting I had this morning with 38 people my 2015 MacBook Pro's processor peaked at 11%.

Zoom knows how to do something better than the other companies. They really need to catch up.

Would you say the same if the user was compiling software or rendering video?if your computer fan is interfering with audio, that's an audio setup problem not a software problem.

Wasting CPU/heat is a different problem.

Oh, no! She just doesn't use any software that makes the fan come on. Zoom doesn't, teams doesn't, jitsi somehow does.

Buy new headset vs install other free software.
