Destiny2 not playable with Spotify / YouTube

Maybe someone can Help me with this.
I cant play Destiny and listen to Spotify in the Background or play Destiny and watch a YouTube Video.

Everytime Spotify changes the Song my Screen freezes or it gets really laggy and my FPS drop like -40, if i try to watch YouTube while playing Destiny both stutter and i need to close one so the other runs Perfectly again.
In the Past that was not a Problem at all, am i the only one or do you have similiar Experiences?

Thanks for any Help!

Try disabling the spotify overlay, and TURN OFF "Hardware Acceleration" in both spotify and the browsers you use to watch youtube with.

If that doesnt work, google how to disable full screen optimizations.

Sounds like your saturating your internet bandwidth. Others streaming, gaming, etc at same time?

Idk if that would cause the local games FPS to stutter like OP described. Internet issues usually do not cause the game engine to experience lower framerates. You will just see rubberbanding at high frames.

It's weird that Spotify would freeze your screen, but what's not weird is YouTube lowering your games fps. You're adding a lot of stress to your RAM when you're watching YouTube videos while playing games.
