If you're seeing a video in the device preview, the device is functioning correctly and OBS is receiving data.

You deactivated the "Scenes" subwindow. It may be that your OBS preview displays a different scene than you're adding your sources (including webcam) to. Activate View->Docks->Scenes and verify.

If it isn't this, temporarily deactivate all sources except your webcam by clicking on the eye icon of each except your webcam. Now your webcam is the only source that is displayed. If you don't see anything, do right-click your source->Transform->Reset transform after you verified the device preview still displays the webcam video. You can also try Transform->Fit to Screen to make it as big as possible.
