Your laptop fan gets loud during video calls
Video calls make your CPU work hard because it's encoding video in real-time. Turning down the video quality and closing background apps quiets the fan immediately.
Video calls are one of the most demanding things your laptop does. Encoding video, managing audio, and running the call app all at once pushes the processor to its limit. The fan responds by running at full speed. We can fix this by reducing the video quality and closing programs you don't need during the call.
Fix-IT-Bot will walk you through each step — just tap, no typing needed.
Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Using the laptop on a bed or couch during long calls -- soft surfaces block vents and make the problem worse
- Running Chrome with 20+ tabs open while on a call -- browsers use a lot of CPU for all those tabs
Signs you need professional help
- Fan is loud on every task, not just video calls
- Laptop runs hot even on a hard table with nothing else open
- Call quality drops because the processor can't keep up
