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?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

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.
