Question / Help Trade Show Live Cameras

Hello-
I was wondering if what I am intending to do will work.

We are doing a trade show setup where I want to use live output that is showing 3 digital outputs (these are like metered displays that are measuring light output on 3 different lights).

I have 3 TVS working off of one computer and 3 OBS' working on the same computer, but the USB cameras aren't working correctly on all 3. All 3 cameras are plugged into the back of the one computer.

I do not need to record any of this info, so a Fullscreen Preview of each would work.

But when I try it all I am getting is one camera showing live updates...the other two just stop updating and show what is basically an image.

Is there a way to make this work or is it just a limitation of the software or hardware?

Any suggestions would be great. I do want to use a graphic overlay as one layer in OBS too, but haven't gotten that far yet.

Try different USB ports and/or lower the resolution of your cameras, you're probably overloading the USB bandwidth.

Thank you very much. I changed each camera's resolution, knocked down the FPS for each and changed the USB ports (so that none were close to each other. This is working now.
I have 3 USB cameras playing live feeds to 3 different TV's at Fullscreen Preview.
