Webcam changes settings when different applications are selected

I am really hoping someone out there has either heard of this or experienced this. I have been searching for over 2 hours trying to find a fix for this issue.

I have a Logitech Brio and a Logitech C922 that I use. The Brio is set up wide screen for a Just Chatting scene and the C922 is used for a gaming window. Both are controlled in G-Hub and retain their settings, that is not the issue. Both are Chroma Keyed for a green screen and that is set up correctly as well. The problem I have been having lately is if I have OBS running (either streaming or offline) and I open or click on Spotify (to focus on the app) it seems the settings for either camera "reset". Both cameras will get brighter and the gamma or exposure will raise, losing the Chroma Keying for the background. If I click on anything else (OBS, another window, another app, my desktop) and take the focus off Spotify then the camera reverts to the correct settings. I just had this happen while playing Among Us on stream. Anytime I click into the game to play, the C922 "game cam" would get brighter but if I clicked on something else the cam window would return to normal. I have trouble shot every option I can find and have even added both web cams to a test scene to see if it happens to both at the same time and it does.

I am currently running Windows 10 (1909) and using OBS ver 26.0.2 and G-Hub ver 2020.11.9270

Let me know if there is other info I can supply for this.

Make sure your camera settings in G hub aren't set up as a program-specific profile.

Actually that lead me to the fix. In order to get both of my cams to have the settings I wanted for each of them I set up new camera and video profiles called New Camera and New Camera 1. I noticed both Among Us and Spotify were listed in G-Hub under the profiles and both were set to Default. I went into both on each camera and selected the appropriate profile for the camera and boom, now it doesn't change when I have OBS open on those scenes and select those programs! Would have never thought to even look there! Thanks mate!
