Hello, fellows,
Although I already use a windows PC with 3 cards and one webcam logitech C920 for recording and live streaming, I need another camera. I can´t install one more capture card, so I intend to install a second webcam, but the place where it is located is too far, I would need perhaps 15 meters of active USB 3.0 extension, which is not good. So, I thought about something easier. I have another PC on the place. I could share it´s webcam to my OBS computer. But I don´t know how to do it. I know there are certain softwares for sharing USB devices, but the prices are high ( The ones I have seen ). If you know some tip about how can I solve this problem, please, tell me. I really appreciate. Thank you so much !

You could try installing the NDI software suit. This would allow you to setup the webcam (obviously another computer would be needed, could be any computer/laptop to hook the webcam up to and install NDI) then use the NDI software to send that out as a source and use the OBS NDI plugin on your main stream machine with the same NDI software as well to accept that source all over your network.

Thank you so much ! I´ll look forward to it. There´s an old and new version 5 of NDI. My PCs are very old. I don´t know if this new version 5 is good for them, but I´ll try. Thanks.
