Looks like it isn't set up as a Global source. Would be advised.

Does the camera just shut off, or does Windows give the 'device unplugged' system sound effect when it happens?

Yeah, got like device gets unpluged. But i've tried to see, mybe cable is broken or smth, and everything is fine. Was testin via Skype, moving cable all arround and never heard plugout sound . But when i stream, camera stands still, and in the middle of the game "i hear unplug sound" and have just to uncheck and check box in OBS again, and camera works.

Then that's an OS level issue, not OBS.
The camera may be crashing, as OBS may be using it in a way that Skype does not. Are you using the latest cam and mobo USB drivers, and have you checked for any firmware updates?

Turn on OBS preview mode with webcam showing and let it sit there for up to a few hours to see if it still happens?

Webcam might be failing, faulty, or defective? Try a different webcam or different computer?
EDIT: Faulty USB cable might cause random USB disconnect problem, try different USB cable?
