Default Jeep shaking

Hey yall, I was wondering if anyone else has an issue with shaking when the AC is on? I notice my Jeep shakes periodically when my AC is on. What could cause this? Should I be worried?

Only at idle? Only at higher rpm? Both?

When the AC compressor kicks on there is a little bit more load on the engine serpentine belt which may cause abit of a noticeable change in idle, but it shouldn't be really bad.

This, happens to all cars. Just some are more noticable then others.

Only at idle it seems, it doesn't seem to effect the performance tho.
