Streaming/other applications freeze when clicked into FFXIV

[AnaKoWataru]

I've never had this issue before untill the most recent patch I believe.

For example, I might be streaming the game on discord, and the moment I click into the game it freezes the stream. Same if I'm watching a show from a streaming site (not on a browser but separate application), the moment I click back into FFXIV it freezes and its unwatchable.

I've tested both streaming and watching a stream with other applications, it only breaks when clicking into FFXIV, any idea what I could do to stop this from happening? I've tested with setting application priority listings but so far no help. Can't rly come up with anything to try. Plz help!

ps. id like to watch shows while playing
