I ran it under strace and after that it was never allowed to run again. I don't know exactly what it's doing, but it's nothing I want it to be doing.
If you get an AMD GPU then the web experience is a bit more performant, the Intel iGPUs are not quite potent enough.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoDiscreet GPUs support encoding/decoding a lot more streams than the integrated stuff. Depending on the generation of Quicksync you have, the codec used by Zoom might not be hardware accelerated at all, though I think Zoom uses h264, so you'd have to be on some pretty old hardware.
- londons_explore 5y agoI don't know about zoom specifically, but most video conferencing programs counterintuitively don't use hardware video encoders/decoders. They use the GPU for visual effects (background blur etc), but then do regular CPU video encoding. That's why they gobble so much CPU! I think that helps with system compatibility. Hardware video encoders are full of bugs and corner cases, and it's very easy for someone to end up seeing a garbled image when the bitstream was truncated or bad in some way.
- gbrown 5y agoIs there something specific about the AMD drivers? I have a decent Nvidia card (I know, I know…)
- Quasimarion 5y agoMind if you elaborate on that? I just ran zoom with strace but see nothing out of ordinary.
