Macbook Pro 13" 2011: recent video conferencing problems
My MBP ran video conferences on Skype, zoom, Teams, and Google hangouts etc just fine in 2020. It has started having issues i.e interrupted and lagging video, distorted and lagging audio, sometimes the whole machine just freezes, other times the app (whichever is being used) crashes. Its rendered work-from-home impossible for me.
The video calls begin ok but the above issues start within minutes, and then they keep worsening as time goes on, eventually leading to the MBP hanging mid-call in 25-30 minutes.
I updated zoom and upgraded to McOS High Sierra 10.13.6 (suggested update) in the hopes of resolving these problems.
I have found many problems through EtreCheck, however they seem to be chronic problems that should have interfered last year too. I will paste the report here. Would be great to know how to go about resolving these problems. I am not great at this.
Thanks.
