Hello!

Me and my twin bro trying to setup 2 webcams on our streaming pc using OBS.

We using Logitech C920 and i know that they have problem with that webcam.

If i preview the stream and double click on my webcam to set it up OBS freezing and i need to restart computer and now i only have one camera pluged in to the streaming computer.

I wanna preview the stream cuz its easy to set it up when you can see the stream.

Any webcams that work with 2 cams on 1 pc?

Might be a bandwidth issue with USB 2.0. try plugging on in front OBS and one in the rear separating the REAR USB from any other USB devices.

USBs are often paired together (top bottom) or even quad'd to a single hub and often have shared bandwidth

So one at a time, both work? but both together doesn't?

try a lower native resolution maybe? something like 480p each cam? make sure all other webcam software is closed as well aka skype, or any program that would display the webcams as well.

Have try with one pluged in and both pluged in! Still freezing when i preview my stream and double click one cam to set it up. Need to set them up cuz i using Chroma Key!

I cant fix the settings on them with the program i got from Logitech when both are pluged at the same time.
The program cant handle 2 webcams at once. Mybe if i buy other modell.

from the help menu, copy a link to a recent log when you previewed or streamed. copy the link and post the link here.

I think it may be a problem of them being the same camera model. do you have any other webcam available to check?
If you have a smart phone, you can get an app that lets you use it as a webcam.

I am having the same problem i have six usb ports 4 in the back two in the front and no matter how i plug them in they get stuck on the same usb root hub is there a way to assign them via the device manager? Ive tried ffdshow that made things get laggy even though i followed the guide on it and ive tried lowering the resolution and fps also i turned off buffering and disable device when not in use nothing worked

. Only other thing i can think of is using window captures for each webcam separately? I use obs studio btw any help would be appreciated!
