I've been using my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra's 12MP front camera as an OBS camera for streaming for over a year. However, since March 2025, I’ve been experiencing sudden freezing issues. I've even had to stop my live streams midway because of it.
To troubleshoot, I downgraded OBS from version 31.0.3 to 30.2.3, but that didn’t help. I also upgraded my RAM from 8GB to 64GB and reinstalled Windows 11. Additionally, I tried switching the camera to a different port, but the issue persists.
Even when I connect the camera via Wi-Fi, the problem continues, so I don't think it's related to the USB port.
