Hey everyone, I've been hitting a frustrating snag during my team's threat modeling sessions on Google Meet. Every time I have the Fellow sidebar open to track action items and decisions, my video calls start freezing or become incredibly choppy. As soon I close Fellow, everything smooths out. It's like a resource conflict, but I can't pinpoint it.

This is a real workflow breaker. I rely on Fellow to ensure security-related action items from our discussions (like "restrict that S3 bucket" or "review IAM policy X") are captured immediately. Missing details because my call is freezing isn't an option.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
* Confirmed my internet connection is stable (tested with other bandwidth-heavy apps).
* Updated Fellow to the latest version.
* Tried disabling the "Track Meetings" feature within Fellow's settings for Meet.
* Checked my system resources (MacBook Pro M1, 16GB RAM). CPU/Memory don't seem to be spiking dramatically, but I suspect a GPU or network throttle within the browser.

Has anyone else in the community run into this? I'm wondering if it's a known issue with Fellow's real-time integration capturing audio/video streams, perhaps similar to how some security tools can interfere with network traffic. Any workarounds or settings you've found that help?
