What is the effect of adding multiple cameras to a livestream on upload speed?

Hey guys
At the moment i use OBS with my atem mini video switcher and use bitcompanion with my elgato stream deck for remote switching etc.

Connected to OBS is all this gear, and my upload speed is around 20mbps hard wired ethernet connection. I have set the output bitrate to 6000 kbps, as I am encoding 1920 by 1080 cameras.

I have 3 cameras connected to the input of the video switcher. Would this add any restraints to my internet upload speed requirement, when having these cameras all connected and switching etc?

No. You're creating a single output encoding stream. Doesn't matter if you have 1 camera or 1000, you're only generating one output that's being sent from your computer.
