FaceRig and 2 Camera setup in OBS

[DracoAsier]

Alright, I'm new to Facerig and I just got a FaceRig for my system. I had a camera previously that I was using for a cat camera and I had done a charity stream where I did a 2 camera setup already.

Now I'm running FaceRig as my main webcam for my stream in OBS and OBS now can't turn on the other camera that I have for my cat cam. Nothing has changed except for the fact that FaceRig is now the primary webcam usage.

Does FaceRig not play well with a 2 camera setup in OBS?

Hello. FaceRig works only with a one-camera set-up. However, I don't know how your setup works. Is your second camera (the cat camera) working outside of OBS when your primary camera is in use by FaceRig? I think you can use ManyCam as an alternative to having multiple camera sources (which you can feed in OBS).

I know FaceRig doesn't use two Camera, but what I'm saying is that in OBS if I'm using FaceRig, the second Camera doesn't work. But the moment I close down FaceRig, the Second Camera is recognized by OBS. It's like FaceRig is hogging all of the cameras plugged in even when they aren't selected by the program. i.e. Main camera selected but Cat Camera is still in the list so FaceRig still holds onto it just in case I want to select it.

I shouldn't have to use a second program to do something that doesn't seem to be a problem in general. As you even stated "FaceRig works only with a one-camera set-up." Which to me should mean that once the camera is selected it shouldn't matter if there are others in the computer. The others should work for other purposes.

Okay, I just tested this (and it works). What I did is:

(If you have other previous scenes in which you tried the setup, clear them and make a new one.)

1. Create a Scene.
2. In "Sources" I added a Video Capture Device. I selected the FaceRig Virtual Camera from the "Device" drop-down list (make sure that the Broadcasting option is ON in FaceRig).
3. Add another Video Capture Device, in the same scene. This time select your other camera that is not used by FaceRig.

Let me know how it goes.

That's a Negative on my end. Created a new scene to test this. Imported the FaceRig Virtual Camera. Imported in Fine. Tired bringing in the Cat Camera, doesn't work. Doesn't even bring it in.

Closed down FaceRig, made new scene and selected just the Cat Camera WebCam, it loads in fine
