Question / Help OBS not recognizing second camera when running

Alright, so I stream both Creative and gaming. When I stream Creative, I usually mount my Logitech c615 camera on a boom arm, so that people can see the sketches clearly.

To reduce the hassle of having to move the camera back and forth between my PC for gaming, and my drawing table, I decided to buy a second webcam. I came to find that OBS doesn't recognize two webcams that are the same make and model, so I exchanged the one I bought for a different model. However, OBS still is not seeing the new camera.

Moreover, every time I remove the second camera from my sources, OBS will crash. Every single time.

How do I fix this, so I can switch between cameras?

I kind of feel this may be a USB problem. Try swapping out the ports for the webcams. See if it works then and also check other programs if you can such as Skype, your browser, etc.
