Question / Help OBS Video Freezing

When I preview my stream, the video will play for a couple of seconds, then stop completely. If I switch to another window, the OBS video shows whatever was behind OBS, instead of the video source. I also had this problem with Xsplit.

Your computer hardware is woefully underpowered. I'm not even sure what settings to suggest. Your CPU and GPU are both being overworked really hard. Downscale as low as you can and try like 24FPS or something.
