Hi

I'm broadcasting to youtube at 5kps, a video capture from camcorder and a window capture of a pdf document that I'm scrolling through.
Normally streaming live like this goes smoothly, and rarely does the youtube stream freeze.

However as soon as I plug into my lapto an hdmi cable connected to a projecter, and then preview obs video onto it (like a second monitor), the youtube video stream starts to get sluggish and then eventually freezes, although the audio still goes through.

Does anyone know why this is the case.

Is it because my laptop not have enough ram, or I need a special graphics card? Please let me know.

My laptop is i5, 8gb ram
