Hello everybody,
I have been using OBS Virtual Cam and Skype for a year to teach lessons over the Internet.
For some reason that I haven't discovered yet, a few months ago I started experiencing issues with OBS and Skype, causing thousands of frames to be dropped during streaming.
I noticed in macOS Activity Monitor that sometimes the Skype Helper (Renderer) process and sometimes the VTDecoderXPCService process consume too much CPU, more than 150% and this causes the image to freeze and OBS is not able to render all the necessary frames.
Strangely I never had any issues until about a month ago and I also don't have these issues when using other apps like Zoom.
I wondered if it was from a recent Skype or OBS update, but I have reverted to previous versions of both programs and the problem persists.
Any ideas?
