2020 MacBook PRO super high temperature while using hangout

Hello,

working on 2020 MacBook Pro and having Google Hangout video conference calls (+ the second screen), there is a huge problem that after 30min of the video call, my mac goes super hot (around 140°F / 60°C, fans are going fast and loud) especially in Touch Bar are. Total CPU usage is only 16% !!

This mac is clean - full reinstall with no other 3rd party software installed.

Do you guys also have such problems and what do you suggest me to do?

Streaming video (Zoom, etc.) is a resource hog. Actually 60 °C isn’t even close to ‘super hot’, assuming you mean the temp readouts from inside your Mac – temps in the 80’s are common under load, and they can go over 100 °C before the Mac will throttle back the processors.
