Overheating

My Mac laptop Air has started to overheat and shut down. I use this for teaching and a lot of Zoom calls now. Is there a way to clean the fans myself? Or is there a reputable place in Phoenix to have it looked at while I wait?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15

issue with fan and heat My Macbook Pro keeps overheating and the fan turns on the first thing I open it. Even if I don’t have many applications open, it still overheats. Is there any way I can stop the overheating? I do my work on a desk so the air space is not a problem.

MacBook Pro easily overheating i understand that macs aren’t known for their thermal management, but even when I’m doing light work on a desk my Mac starts to overheat and the fans start going full speed. It’s pretty annoying considering I’ve only had it for about a year. I can’t imagine it’s clogged up with dust because it’s been happening for months, and it’s not because I’m doing things that take a lot of computing power. Any suggestions?
