I see that Zoom takes a lot of energy...but my question is about my Mac getting hot. Is it normal or something wrong?

Energy is always dissipated in heat. That's normal.

you could use FaceTime if the conversation is between just you 2.

i read many reviews on MacBook Airs by PC writers/users and they all stated that the heat and throttling is an issue when using a lot of apps and data. they like the MacBook air as i do my 2010 but it has its limits.
