Hello, I've been using OBS to stream for a while now and I recently purchased a capture card the I-o Data USB Connection Video Capture GV-USB2 (https://www.amazon.com/DATA-connect...coding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=P01C0EMBS092W09ZRYMW) The program it uses is called Light Capture and when opening up my OBS with the Light Capture program running OBS doesn't recognize my Webcam which is a Logitech HD Webcam C310 (https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-960...&qid=1499887510&sr=1-1&keywords=Logitech+c310) I thought this was very strange, so I tried to open OBS first and when I did the camera came on and worked fine but after opening the Light Capture program all I would see is a black screen on the Light Capture program. I'm at a total loss with what to do can anyone help me?

Hi,
I THINK your problem is that you are using 2 capture programs at once and the devices can only be used by 1 at a time.
So when you have OBS open that takes priority over the capture devices and Light Capture can't use them since they are already in use. Same thing the other way around, if you have Light Capture open, OBS can't use the devices since they are in use. Can't you make a video capture source in OBS with your capture card? I use the Elgato HD my self and I need to have its own program installed but then OBS can detect it as well.
