Question / Help OBS lag with camera

[griffinfoster]

My OBS has been running fine without a camera, recording smooth and all. But when i added a facecam to my recordings, they have been lagging.

When i remove the camera it is fine though. any way to fix this lag? i have tried turning down quality and resolution, none seem to work.

Show us OBS logs?

Did you try to lower webcam resolution in OBS video capture settings?

If only your webcam is lagging: OBS Logs shows it as using 15 fps (frames per second), try to increase it to 30 fps if you want better webcam frame rate.

If other stuff is slowing down when webcam is enabled:
Maybe your webcam software drivers might be the problem. You can uninstall logitech webcam from device manager, and then unplug + plug it back in, or find a different version of Logitech webcam drivers.
