Description of the issue:
Within the last 2 Brave updates, I am having YouTube and Twitch video playback stuttering on my second monitor when my main monitoring is playing a game in borderless windowed mode. This happens immediately on Minecraft Dungeons and Vermintide 2. Of note:

  • Began sometime last week ~6/24/2021
  • The stuttering is continuous until I close the program or switch out of borderless window
  • The stuttering is significant and makes the video unwatchable
  • The video playback stuttering stops immediately upon switching to Full Screen or Window
  • Stuttering happens with Brave video acceleration On and Off
  • The audio playback is uninterrupted
  • The video playback for both Twitch and YouTube does not stutter on Chrome, Firefox, and Edge … it is just in Brave that the video playback stuttering is happening

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. Run Minecraft Dungeons in borderless window on main display
  2. Start a Twitch stream on second display
  3. Alt tab back to Minecraft Dungeons
  4. Watch video begin to stutter within 0 - 5 seconds and remain doing so

Expected result:
No stuttering
