A video call though isn't that mundane. Google Meet often has my cpu and fans spinning. I do prefer Zoom as it uses fewer resources. But of course, it will work on battery.

For an M1 powered MacBook Air, none of them creates a significant power spike on the system. I use both regularly, generally one hour at a time, and battery percentage doesn't take a noticeable hit after the call, and the computer doesn't warm up.
