Question / Help multiple webcams

[mattmazzone]

Hello everyone, would it be possible to use OBS to switch between multiple webcams during a skype video call?
I purchased 7 logitech c922 and am looking for software that would allow me to do this. Just to clarify the 7 webcams would only be streaming one at a time and I would be switching between them when i need to change the camera angle. Also what kind of computer specs would i need to run this setup at 720p or 1080p?

Probably, super comps from NASA well suits for your task.
7 cameras at full quality is too much.
Look at this thread: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/webcam-flickering-because-of-brightness.77487/#post-327291 and find some other info on the forum.

Or, if you configure OBS Studio to deactivate each 'Video Capture Device' source when it's not active, then it is quite possible, but you'll see significant initialization delay (no signal) upon switching from cam to cam.

really? i was doing some testing yesterday with 4 of the cameras. 1-2 in each scene with a desktop capture. I then sent the signal to skype via virtual cam and my cpu (6700hq) was about 60-70%. I plan to use a 8400 or a 8500 on the machine that will be doing this so performance should be even better. Just to clarify im not recording or streaming im just using obs to switch to different camera angles while in skype. Please share your thoughts

We have an Owl conference camera that has multiple cameras built in and changes to the one where the sound if coming from. So if you start talking, the camera switches to you. Would this be something you are looking for?
