Suggestion: Allow Discord to prioritize video feed while open on second monitor but app is not prioritized

So I have this issue where if I have discord open on my second monitor and let’s say I have my camera on I could see my self in the popup window, now if my game is opened up on my primary monitor and someone were to join the group call and put their camera on it won’t show their video feed unless I tab out and focus discord then tab back into the game, it gives me like a spoiler warning where it says something is here but hidden till mouse over if that’s the best way to describe it.

Turns out this is a feature discord implemented sometime within the last 3-6 months, I presume most people have one monitor so they don't realize this but it's really annoying to have to tab in and out of games especially when people screen share and switch back to cams, Turns out discord said

"Sorry for the inconvenience regarding your preview but it's working as intended This occurs in order to maintain performance. If you're not in the app then the feed pauses to preserve resources"

Could discord implement some sort of prioritization for resources, or even an On/Off Switch to allow discord to auto-refresh video feeds without being prioritized, I Feel the dual monitor community would really appreciate it.

This "feature" is basically a giant FiretrUCK you to everyone that has two monitors and a powerful CPU. Can I at least get an option to use my FiretrUCK load of RAM? I didn't pour thousands of dollars into my computer so you could decide whether or not I have to STOP PLAYING MY GAME TO CLICK A FiretrUCKING WINDOW SO I CAN USE A CHAT I PAY TO SUPPORT.
