I just recently added a third gaming monitor to my setup. I have OBS running on my left monitor, game in the middle and my Discord/spotify on my right hand monitor.
I use Streamlabs Labels standalone app for my alerts. Whenever I get a follow/donation/sub, my alert comes through as I can hear it, but unless i click on the OBS window to make it "active" it does not display the animation of the alert. I'm also finding chat is taking about 30-40 seconds to come through to my chat dock if i am playing the game. But if i click off the game and onto the OBS window to make it "active" chat instantly catches up also.
It's really weird and I cant find anyone talking about it on forums. I think this has only started happening since I brought in the third monitor.
Obviously while streaming and playing a game, OBS is never an Active window (the title at the top of the window is grey instead of black) and that practically cant be any other case when playing a game as that will always be the active monitor.
Anyone seen this before or know why it is happening?
Interestingly if I live share my OBS monitor on my discord while I'm playing a game it doesnt happen and alerts come through (as if the discord stream is keeping OBS active). This obviously isnt that practical either.
Any ideas of thoughts appreciated as it is driving me insane
