    None of these were my issue but this video did guide me to where I DID find my issue. In the properties for my webcam source in OBS the cam was set to a resolution the cam didn't support for some reason. I changed this to a supported resolution and the image immediately came back. Thanks for getting the cogs moving, Tuts!

    This is SUCH a good video! There is nobody else that talked about why OBS was so squirrely when dealing with multiple cameras. I would have to restart OBS every time to get the cameras to work and I had no idea what the issue was.

    Hi, Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful to know of all these possibilities. In my case, none of them worked, but what did work was to delete my webcam from the sources in OBS and then add it again. I hope this helps someone.

  • @handandahalf

    Hello ! Thank you so much for the tutorial.
    I want to specifically mention this, because it might help you as well as others.
    The problem I was facing was the IV one. Yes Indeed its true man, My K7 Antivirus was blocking Webcam for OBS acess. I had to turn off Webcam protection from my end to give access to OBS. That fixed my OBS streaming.
    You were a bit less confident when explaining the IV problem, so I thought, by writing it here it brings more clarity to everybody . Thanks anyway.

  • @DougTheDog6
