SUMMARY
XWaylandVideoBridge causes Video Game to freeze until game is no longer in focus. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  Launch OBS Studio / Discord
2. Launch Video Game to capture (bug happens with Final Fantasy 14)
3. Try to move. Game freezes. Moving to virtual desktop with Discord or OBS Studio you can now see the game behaving normally on the preview screen of either application. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Game Freezes

EXPECTED RESULT
Game does not freeze, user cannot tell that they are actively streaming.

This is no longer an issue in Plasma 6.2. I'm not sure what changed between this Bug Report and then, but uhhh. Yeah. It works, so I'm going to close this.
