SUMMARY
Screen sharing certain fullscreen programs freezes them until focus is taken from them, in which case they unfreeze for about one second

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

2. Screen share the window through any possible way (https://www.webrtc-experiment.com/Pluginfree-Screen-Sharing/#2934117762639923 will do)
3. Go back to program

OBSERVED RESULT
Program freezes until focus is taken

EXPECTED RESULT
Program works as expected
