2019 16" - Constant Bluetooth Issues

[SnackTime]

On my 16" MBP running 10.15.4 I am experiencing constant Bluetooth device disconnections.

The scenario is always the same:
In a Zoom/Google Video Meeting all my Bluetooth devices will suddenly lose connection.
This would be a mouse (LG MX3), keyboard (LG Keys), and headset (Sony WH1000-MX3 or whatever).
~10-20 seconds later they'll all reconnect.

I have only noticed it during video calls - which is also the only frequent scenario where all 3 Bluetooth devices are connected. Normally it is just keyboard/mouse.

Not sure if this would matter, but my MBP is connected to power, in clamshell, with an external 2560x1440 monitor.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Im trying to replicate this, having trouble as i dont have enough bluetooth devices.

Yeah I have the same issues pal. Almost identical set up, I'm running the 15" 2019 model, but very similar devices.

Either the MBPs have USB3.0 interference problems or it's something to do with Catalina, what I've done is purchase a 3metre USB extension cable and use the unifying receiver with the MX3 mouse, and connect my Bose 700s normally to the MBP. Less devices the better, there is sincere problems with the OS here, hopefully things begin to settle as 10.15.5 is released.

Please explain this issue so I can further replicate.

Please explain this issue so I can further replicate.

So with a bit of further testing I have narrowed it down to just Google Hangouts running in Chrome. Maybe it impacts some other Chromium browsers, but I haven't had it happen in Safari.

Essentially what will happen is during a Hangout in Chrome, all of a sudden, all my bluetooth devices will disconnect.
Mouse, Headset, Keyboard. This could be in a meeting with 1 other person, or many.

I know Chrome is more resource intensive than Safari, but I'm on a beefy machine (and I don't know why it would impact it).

Just bump I have an issue with all bluetooth devices disconnecting at once. 16" MBP 2.3ghz. I'v noticed it twice in Zoom but I use the app constantly so that's not necessarily the cause.
