Description Andrej Halveland 2024-01-02 16:45:51 UTC 
1. Issue:
When I have many apps/windows open, and then I try to screen share a window in Discord/OBS, the entire screen will freeze for several seconds (in extreme cases even for 10 seconds).

2. Issue
And I believe that because of this freeze, it causes my other screenshares (be it a whole screen or just a window) to freeze indefinitely (until I manually re-share the same screen/window again).

Here's a video demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_azZ6AMHhGc

I used OBS in the steps to reproduce but it's the exact same with Discord in chromium. So it's not OBS specific.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE (1st issue)
1. Have many apps/windows open
2. Try to screenshare a window in OBS

OBSERVED RESULT
The screen will freeze for several seconds.

EXPECTED RESULT
The screen should not freeze.



STEPS TO REPRODUCE (2nd issue)
1. Have many apps/windows open
2. In OBS create the first screenshare and select any screen/window
3. In OBS create a second screenshare of a *window*

OBSERVED RESULT
The screen will freeze for several seconds AND the first screenshare will freeze indefinitely.

EXPECTED RESULT
The screen and other screenshares should not freeze.
