Question / Help OBS does not detect any cameras

[Craftica]

Hi there

I am currently on the latest version of OBS, at the time of posting. I have a Genius Facecam 1000x and 2 generic cameras, but OBS does not detect any of them. They all work 100% fine with any other software. The cameras are on the latest drivers.

I use Kaspersky free AV, I have disabled it and my Windows firewall, but no luck.

Please assist, as I would like to stream with the camera

Several possibilities:

1) You've selected a resolution/framerate those cameras do not support
2) Some other security feature or program is blocking access to the cameras
3) Some other app is accessing the camera, preventing OBS from accessing it.

Thanks a ton for your reply. My dumb ass did not go check on the windows 10 settings for the camera.

Tip for others having this issue, under camera settings, enable desktop apps. It was disabled by default for some reason
