My Macbook does not charge at times, while I am using Zoom. It will show that it is plugged in, but the battery percentage does not increase. Only after my Zoom session ends, then it will start charging.
What's the issue and how can I fix it?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.6

Three Things:
A. Troubleshooting Zoom and Battery:
Check for updates in Zoom. Also, uninstall, and then reinstall Zoom.
B. Boot into Safe Mode:
Try logging in using Safe Mode (Hold down shift key upon boot). See if you can log in. Items only load as they do by default, while you are booted into Safe Mode. All caches are set aside. Go Here: Use Safe Mode to Isolate Issues with your Mac - Apple Support
C. Reset your SMC and your NVRAM:
Sometimes changes (i.e. Installations) are made to the system and then settings (i.e. for Power) become corrupted, technically. So, reset both on your Mac. So, reset the SMC (Intel-only Macs) and reset the NVRAM or PRAM. It might take three tries. to fix this. So, be certain you have the time to do so.
