I’ve tried that, besides it making the streams look grainy it also lowers the FPS down to a terrible rate, so that’s not a viable solution. Thanks for the suggestion though 🙂

That didn’t work either but I’ve found the culprit.  
In the Nvidia Control Panel my global settings for “Max Frame Rate” are set to my monitors refresh rate (60). I guess that multiple instances of brave share this frame rate which leads to the lag/stutter. Once I’ve added “Program Settings” for “brave.exe” and set that to “Off” all windows play videos just fine.
