i have a dual monitor setup and i like keeping a Skype video call on one screen while i play a game. on most of the games i play, the Skype video will stop while i have the game on even though the call is not disconnected. sometimes, i'll be able to see the other peron i'm calling but my webcam will turn off.
i'm pretty sure this is a graphics driver issue. i have an older game that allows me to set it to OpenGL or DirectX. when i have the game set to OpenGL, the problem is not there. but if i set it to DirectX, the problem comes back.
most of the games i play are only DirectX compatible but i want to know how to avoid the Skype video from stopping?
some of the games i play that have this problem are GTA4, Rise of Flight, Assassin's Creed 2, Flight Simulator X, and Just Cause 2.
