Question / Help Can't display two cameras at once

[Auregos]

Hey there,

I'm currently experiencing an error, where I'm not able to put two Panasonic HE40-SKE at the same time in one scene.
There can always be only one camera active at a time, the other camera stays black. Both cameras work fine when used solo, but when they are combined in a scene one of them stays black.

I don't know if that is an OBS Studio problem or an camera problem.

Steps I already did:
- I updated OBS Studio
- I updated the driver of the Panasonics HE40-SKE
- I unplugged and replugged the cameras to the notebook
- I put the cameras in USB-mode in the web overlay so I can use them via "video capture"
- I used the panasonic ip camera to usb camera tool

System I use:
Windows 10 Enterprise Edition
Notebook Lenovo Thinkpad T490s
OBS Studio version 25.0.8

Hope you have some ideas, thank you for helping

Greetings,
Lukas

Likely overloading the USB hub as it can't handle that much data Your laptop likely only have one hub
You could include the video stream from one or both over wifi

Thanks a lot. The problem got solved as soon as I put the cameras on two different USB-ports. Before this step I had them connected to one USB-Hub.
