Why does this randomly happen on CB?

[NotYou]

I know that's a stupid question... why does ANY stupid shit that happens on CB, happen.. lol
BUT more specifically, see the image I have attached. Obviously ignore the lady and concentrate on the top left of the image. It's completely random WHEN it happens but it always happens the same way: if I mute or unmute the model - I use Chrome and Windows 8.1 on Desktop.

If you see in that video I muted her for a few mins and that's when it happened, to remove it I need to either UNMUTE her (which I have) or refresh my page.

It’s just a glitch, hold down the shift key and left click on the webcam feed to make it vanish

Oh wow, I will try that when it happens next. Could be later or not for another month but I will remember holding shift + click.
Thanks

If it doesn't work on the first attempt, just let go of the shift key and click on the webcam and then try again

I normally use the info when trying to figure out a models issue with their fps lol

Yeah, I was going to say that it's not a "glitch" it's a feature and you can use this to bring up info on the current stream. The exact numbers are all relative; for example in the above screenshot we can see there were 454 dropped frames. This might be normal and nothing to worry about, but if you notice alot of lag and see that you've gone from 454 dropped frames to 14K dropped frames you know there is a problem somewhere.

Ohhhhh so shift+cick ACTIVATES it and deactivates it? Gotcha, so it's useful to know how. That's fantastic thanks so much both of you. I dunno how I have been pressing shift and clicking by accident though lol.

Yeah I just tried it on a favourite models room and about 7/10 times it does activate, so it's not too bad. This is great to know though. I experienced this a loooong time ago but never asked anyone about it, glad you guys/gals exist - always learning new things, it's great.
