I do not know for sure if it's a software or hardware problem, but it's hard to complain on my Mac, because Telegram is the only thing that causes the problem.
So, when I have 30+ minutes Telegram video call there are more than 50% chances that my laptop will restart macOS WindowServer process.
Here is how it happens:
I have a Telegram video call (it can be either a person-to-person call or a group call)
My camera is not necessarily turned on (for example, today it was turned off and it was a group call with someone presenting the screen and using his camera)
Then suddenly a picture on my screen freezes.
I see the frozen picture for ~5-10 seconds, meanwhile the call continues. I can hear everything and I can also speak. If it's a preson-to-person call, I usually say: "Uh-oh, hold on, I will disconnect in seconds and call you back soon. Telegram crashed my Mac again". Not sure if the keyboard input works, never tested it
Then macOS WindowServer restarts in a couple of seconds showing me black screen and in the end I see a login screen. As if I just rebooted my Mac, literally: as I can see, no process survives WindowServer restart. When I log in to my Mac back after such crash, Chrome usually suggests me to restore all tabs, because it quitted "unexpectedly".
I am not sure this crash report will be useful for Telegram developers, but it's the only thing I can provide. Telegram itself does not crash, so I have no crash reports from it.
Also, not sure if this issue will get attention, but I still find it useful to post it if more people will come and confirm the problem in future.
I will also share my setup below:
My MacBook model is: A2251 (EMC 3348)
sysctl hw.model says: "MacBookPro16,2"
it has Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1068NG7 CPU @ 2.30GHz, built-in graphics
it has the latest macOS 13.5.1 (22G90) and the laptop was factory-reset 3 days ago (with fresh software installed from my Brewfile + Docker + Java)
Telegram 10.0.1.250718 was installed from AppStore
I noticed the problem in 2022 when I had lengthy video calls in Telegram, but back then I did not even try to google if someone has already reported it, because I assumed it can be the fault of my OS (which suffered several macOS upgrades already).
Since then I already had 3 factory resets of my laptop and still continue facing this issue. I decided to report it today, because last factory-reset of my Mac happened 3 days ago, so it's clean.

Why I know that it's was a WindowServer who crashed? Because there is a corresponding crash report: WindowServer-2023-08-22-155714.ips.zip

PS I do not suspect overheating
