Game Capture with WhatsApp

Hi All,

I'm using WhatsApp Desktop through the Windows 11 Store app to run interviews with guests using Game Capture and this has worked quite well in the past, however since upgrading to Windows 11, I find that it often captures only the local video source (i.e. my own camera) and not the guest's video.

I can work around this behaviour by asking the guest to change the orientation of their phone for a second which seems to re-trigger the hook to capture both the guest and the local video, but this is challenging to manage.

I've tried:
1. Running OBS as Administrator which might help a little, but this still happens.
2. Upgrading to the latest OBS release (30.1.2)
3. Changing the hook rate from Normal to Slow to Fastest. Slow seems t be a little better if anything.

Here's the log:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
