Using Camera as second web cam via sidesync, a way to stop it closing back to homescreen?

[Android Central Question]

I have a note8 connected to my PC by sidesync, routed through Xsplit broadcaster and then to Discord video chat. I'm using it as a Dice Cam for an online D&D game, but the camera keeps closing and returning to the phone Home screen every 2 to 5 minutes. Doesn't seem to be a consistent time out.

Does anyone know a way to avoid this? I.e., set it up, turn the camera on then forget about it?

Thanks,

Have you tried a different camera app? Although most camera apps will auto-close with inactivity, so unless the app you're using to split it is acting as a recorder, chances are they will all have the same issue. Also, SideSync has been long deprecated so it might be an unfixable bug in the app and program companion.
