Disable "OpenH264 Video Codec provided by Cisco Systems, Inc." under Settings > Voice & Video.

Hello,

I've recently purchased laptop Lenovo Legion 5 Pro (Ryzen 7 5800H+3060+16GB RAM+1TB SSD,...). I'm testing the hybrid mode by Lenovo which is available in Lenovo Vantage app. It should decide which GPU should PC use for different apps (that means both GPUs are available). I have enabled in Nvidia Control Panel to show icon in tray if the 3060 is used by some application or program. In Nvidia Control Panel -> 3D settings I can see notification that in newer versions of Windows is Windows managing usage of GPUs. Okay then, I set the browser to be used by iGPU in Windows. That is working fine. Then I added Discord here to be used only by iGPU but I can't get to work. Well, I can until I turn on my camera in Discord. Then I can see that 3060 is used by proccess "discord.exe" but only after I enable the camera. After turning it off the process still remains used by 3060. Only after restarting the Discord it's used by iGPU and after turning on video 3060 takes control again. I have it set in Windows to use iGPU and also I tried to set it in Nvidia Control Panel (despite the notification that Windows is managing it) but no change. I tried turning off Hardware Acceleration in Discord but no change. Any idea why 3060 takes control of Discord after turning on my camera(video)?

 

Thanks! 🙂

Thank you so much. Should I leave the acceleration in Settings > Advanced disabled? And I see that you have edited your answer. I disabled the option you had there before edit and it's working.

I believe you can keep this option enabled, as your GPU is only being used for encoding.

Yes, it's working with it enabled. I just had to disable H.264 Hardware Acceleration. Thank you!
