Session 51 - Collab Cams Crash the Stream & Keeping Paid Games Professional

This week the stream died twice, and the pattern’s getting hard to ignore: it only seems to happen when I’m running collab cams. No Foundry meltdown, no audio chaos, just Streamlabs tapping out once the camera stack gets heavy. So I’m looking at forcing feeds down to 720p, watching CPU/GPU/VRAM when it dies, and getting answers from Streamlabs before “restart the stream mid-session” becomes routine. Then in the DM Deep Dive, we talk about mixing paid tables with casual games and why it can quietly mess with expectations and the power dynamic if you’re not careful.
