Only 1 Camera is Active - Multi-Cam

I have two cameras on obs (face cam and hand cam/room cam); however, with the new update, only one cam is active at a time.
For example, you can see me moving around in the face cam, but the hand cam is frozen, or vice versa.
How do I fix it? Is there a new setting?
Thank you!

Fixed it myself.
To anyone also having this issue, do the following:
Go to settings > Stream > Multitrack Video > Check 'Enable Enhanced Broadcasting' > Apply
Then go to your sources and reset them (change the video source and change it back)

Uh.. interesting, though not sure how your fix is related to the problem you mentioned? I could easily be completely wrong...

With only 1 camera source working at a time, that sounds like an overloaded computer (or USB Root Hub issue). but if USB Root Hub, likely issue would have been the case on previous OBS Studio releases, as a hardware/operating system issue. I 'd be surprised if your 'fix' actually has anything to do with the issue you mention?

So, I'm suspecting that something changed with the update
- 3rd party plugin causing excessive CPU usage? or I/O delays?
- a change in encoding settings driving computer to overload?
Your computer coudl have been on the edge of overload previously, and with OS and OBS Studio updates, something changed just enough?? maybe

Also, don't ignore pinned post in this forum on posting an OBS Studio log when asking for help/support
