MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020) loud fan noise when viewing Discord video stream

Hello,


When I am using Discord app, and viewing someone’s stream, shortly after (within 5-10 min) my MacBook fans start to make a loud sound. The behaviour is consistent.


I want to check that this is not a hardware issue or problem, and whether this is expected behaviour, and safe for my MacBook to endure on a daily basis.


MacBook Air (Retina, 13-inch, 2020)


1.1 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5

Memory: 8 GB 3733 MHz LPDDR4X

Graphics: Intel Iris Plus Graphics 1536 MB


Using BigSur 11.2.2




Is it normal for my MacBook fans to make such a loud constant blowing sound just to view video on Discord app?




Thank you in advance.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.2
