Question / Help OBS stalls with webcam

[Lilrex]

For some odd reason, when I start OBS now with my webcam selected it stalls and take about 1 minute to load a stream preview. Cam is a C920

Remove it from your scenes, add it as a Global Source, then re-add it to your scenes from the global sources entry in the 'add' menu. Also, if you use a 'stream starting' scene, hide a copy of the cam behind your intro graphic. The device only initializes the first time it's used, this will get it up and running before anyone sees it, and let you transition smoothly from your intro-splash to your scene featuring face-cam, instead of jump-cutting.

Try setting the resolution to 1280x720 in the video capture device properties (source).
