How can I make my spofity visually stop freezing when im playing a game on 1 monitor?

Im having trouble keeping my spotify tab unfrozen on my stream when playing a game. The audio plays 100% no problem but the app freezes on my livestream once I minimize spotify to play the game. I only have **1 monitor to work with** \>\_<

Solutions I've tried both through spotify web browser and the spotify web app:

1- Disabled hardware acceleration in my Browser (didn't work)

2- Chose window capture instead of Display Capture, chose the spotify app itself (didn't work)

3- Manually opening spotify everytime the song changes so it can change on my stream (this is a working but annoying solution)

4- Toggled off Enable hardware acceleration on spotify and restarted the app

5- Connected a second screen using my personal chromebook and spacedesk to display spotify (This worked the way I wanted!! But in result my game dropped 70fps and experienced MASSIVE ping issues making the game and stream completely unplayable and unenjoyable to watch!!)

Theres a solution on google that im unable to do just bc it gives me different options aswell? When going to *System > Display > Graphics* intructions say to click on *"Change default graphics settings."* and *"Toggle Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling to Off"* Which those option isn't there for me so I can't proceed to try it.

This sounds like an easy fix I just am having soo much difficulty any tips would be appreciated!!

EDIT!!!: Figured out something that works for me!! Just had to open the miniplayer and it stays on my screen indefinetly until i turn it off o(\* ̄︶ ̄\*)o
