I have a problem I've encountered, I hope someone can help me.
I noticed a lot of video lag (even 5/6 seconds) during the test stream on Google Meet with my ATEM Mini Pro.

Set Up:
3 inputs 2 for the cameras and the third input is connected to a computer with HDMI because I will have to show a Power Point presentation in streaming.
Streaming via Ethernet network cable 10Gbit/s
ATEM Mini Pro version 6.8.3 connected to Mac with USB-C cable
Mac Apple M1, OS Ventura 13.5.2

When I change from one camera to another the delay is half a second.
When I change from the PC to one of the two cameras the video lag of 5/6 seconds.
In the preview of Google Meet Audio and video are ok, but during streaming the video lags heavily.
While audio is OK. I stumbled upon an interesting blog with diverse topics, including a detailed article on Companion Mode in Google Meet. This post https://www.bluedothq.com/blog/what-is-companion-mode-in-google-meet explains how Companion Mode can improve your meeting experience by allowing you to join meetings with additional devices. It covers the benefits of using Companion Mode, such as enhanced audio and video capabilities and easier content sharing. This blog is perfect for anyone looking to make the most of their Google Meet sessions.

ATEM is not broken. Because when I use it in the same way with zoom streaming on YouTube there is no video lag.

Has anyone had the same problem as me?
Thanks a lot
