Question / Help Streaming with three Logitech cameras.

[CaptainNeatoman]

Hello everyone! I am new to the forums and new to streaming of any sort. I am currently trying to get a stream working using three cameras. Two of them are Logitech C920s and the third is a Logitech C525. I am able to get two of them working, but whenever I try to add the third source to OBS, no video feed appears.

I am using generic USB camera drivers for all of them, as that was the only way to get even two working. Trial and error shows that whichever two I add as sources in OBS first are the two that function. The third one fails, no matter which source I add third.

Thank you in advance for any help given.

Are you using USB hubs?
If so, don't.

You have to split the bandwidth of the cameras across multiple usb host controllers in order for all to function properly. Use USBview to help determine which ports are controlled by which host controllers on your motherboard. Keep in mind that using a hub does not give you more bandwidth -- it just splits the available bandwidth from the host controller across as many devices are connected to it.

Thank you for the comments guys! The USB hub was indeed the problem. Everything went smoothly for our first stream.
