Twin Webcam Software Recommendations

[Jobos]

For the year 6 leavers show I've been asked if 2 webcams could be setup pointing at a pair of keyboards for a maths speed challenge. AFAIK the Windows camera app can only use 1 webcam at a time so looking for something simple. I've tried OBS Studio but need something muchn easier with no frills. Any recommendations

Try getting Gemini to throw together a simple web app for you. I did that for a single web camera feed, to be used as a simple visualiser app. Worth a try.

 

Or perhaps, have it throw together a single web camera viewer and just have it open in two side by side tabs.

ffmpeg in a batch file and then vlc to "watch" the rtsp stream?

 

something like:

 

ffmpeg -f dshow -i video="USB Camera" -f dshow -i video="USB Camera #2" -filter_complex "hstack=inputs=2" -c:v libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency -f rtsp rtsp://localhost:8554/webcams

Thanks for all the replies. After trying VLC and a web app running 2 instances of VLC side by side is the easiest to use.
