Not sure about T420s, but my T420 handled Zoom calls with Codium and browser running in the background (and sometimes used too) just fine. One thing it couldn't handle however is recording the call (the recording was like 1 FPS and almost no sound). Ubuntu, Xfce, can't recall the specs right now but definitely not top of the line.

Even if the call was recorded in the cloud?

I assume he means OBS or some such running locally.

Yeah. Zoom's built in recording didn't work for some reason (and tbh I'm not sure that would be in cloud either).
