Reactions Issuses

I accidentally hit the reactions tab when in a live stream. The actions take where, in the top right of the Mac window in the top bar there is a green icon with a white camera in it. I just noticed it and clicked on it. I noticed it was for OBS and that it was showing the stream video live on the drop down. I hit reactions to look at them and bumped the mouse which added a "Thumbs Up" to the live stream and froze the video from the camera.

The current set up I am using is as fallows;
1. Mac Mini Apple M2 Pro running Sonoma 14.0
2. OBS running 29.1.3
3. Panasonic 4K Professional using HDMI out
4. The HDMI out from the camera runs to a CamLink balon to USB on the Mac Mini
5. We are streaming to Facebook Live through the stream key
6. I am sending audio directly from our X32 Rack to a Focusrite box with a USB out to the Mac Mini
7. We are using ProPresenter 7.14 but no video from the camera is running to OBS. The only thing running to OBS from ProPresenter is the slides which are being run to OBS through a syphon. When I hit the Thumbs Up reaction OBS only from the camera video. I was able to change the feed to a full screen slide image which is set up as a scene for when we stream videos to the feed during service and slides would continue to advance but the video never unfroze. I unplugged the CamLink from the back of the MacMini and plug it back in while the stream was still going and the live feed from the camera came back.

Any ideas as to why it froze, what I can do to prevent this from freezing in the future and or will this require a big fix?

Please help and thanks in advance.

It seems that when you clicked on the "Reactions" tab in OBS (Open Broadcaster Software), it caused the video from your camera to freeze during the live stream.

Review your OBS settings and ensure that the video capture device (CamLink) is configured correctly. Verify that the video settings, such as resolution and frame rate, are compatible with your hardware and streaming platform.
