Macbook Pro 16 overheats with Zoom, Meet

When I use zoom or Google Meet, my macbook pro 16' overheats and area near display bar is very hot.

I have downloaded temperature monitor and it seems like CPU and GPU temp goes up and stays around 60 degrees celcius. Is this temperature normal? or is there anything I can do to resolve the issue?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

That’s normal. Zoom and similar use a fair bit CPU/GPU power, that generates heat, and the processors sit right under the space between the Touch Bar and the hinge.

Your Mac isn’t ‘overheating’ – processor temps can go to 100 °C under heavy loads.
