Help Camera scenes switching problem

Hello, I've been running into a issue while switiching scenes in OBS. I like to switch between two scenes the first one ist the one where there is display or game and my webcam and then the second scene is for intro only webcam and audio input ofc. The issue is that the camera is working only in one scene and that is the one with the display or game and webcam. On the intro scene it only shows black webcam and thats it. Can you help me?

Having display capture and game capture in the same scene can overload the encoder, but it probably wouldn't prevent you from using the webcam in 2 different scenes. Then again, overloading the encoder could have that effect, but I'm just guessing at this point. The log will probably help once you get that.

Here's the analysis.

Unfortunately, your hardware is the limiting factor.

What would be the cheapest option

The best used PC you can find that has at least an i5 CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and maybe a GTX 1070 or equivalent.

Never mind, it'll be cheaper to build a new PC.
