Method 2: Turn on airplane mode
Mainly, smartphones nowadays support WiFi calling. That makes it so easy to disable all other activities while using WiFi—or in a video chat. Switching to airplane mode will turn off all unnecessary programs running in the system. The WiFi will also turn off, and you have to turn it on manually. Not only will this reduce the overall temperature of the phone, but it will also decrease power usage.
You will still be connected to the internet, and receive your phone calls and texts. I do realize this may not be an ideal solution, but you can now attend your video meeting without worrying about your phone may explode.
Method 3: Remove malware from your phone
Nowadays, advertisers play ugly games to get data from potential users. Malware is their ultimate tool to get the desired data. Malware can get into your phone, from hundreds of sources. For example, clicking pop ads, visiting a website with an unknown link, and more.
Malware enters your phone and starts using all the resources to get data and generate an enormous unwanted heat. To make sure that your phone is not infected by a malware, immediately run a security scan. If your phone does not support the anti-virus program. Then Install an anti-malware tool and run the scan. Remember not to click on strange links or pop advertisements while surfing on the web.
Method 4: Update the firmware and apps to the latest version
Mostly outdated apps generate the most heat in the smartphone. Because they run inefficiently and utilize a lot more resources than they should. Once in awhile, developers taking care of this problem release new updates of the apps if your update setting is not on auto-update.
Make sure installed apps are updated to the latest version. Furthermore, updating the firmware can also appear helpful. That simply means you have to update your phone. Go to settings>About phone>My device>Check for updates. Update your phone and restart it.
Method 5: Charge your smartphone properly.
Sometimes overheating issues are caused by the battery. If the back of your phone is hot, then it is obvious the battery is causing the overheating. Turn off your phone, take out the battery, and feel how hot it is. The normal phone battery temperature is 30-40 centigrade. If it’s more, you should be worried about your phone’s battery age. You can check the temperature of the battery, in settings>battery>power.
There appear to be two reasons why the phone battery is heating. One suggests that the battery is old. The second reason can be that you are charging your phone with an unfit charging cable. If the battery is still heating, though, you properly charge it. You should consider replacing the battery or purchasing a new phone.
Method 6: Buy a dedicated Smartphone cooler Pad

Note: Most people use this for mobile gaming, but it can be used for video conferencing as well.
