Powered USB Hub-4 cameras on one computer? YES!

Powered USB Hub-4 cameras on one computer?  YES!

I have two attached to my chromebox now and will add a powered USB hub that will allow two more to get different angles :)

  1. Cooler and cooler, Andrew Hatchett! Since I've never tried attaching a second camera, I had no idea G+ would detect and display multiple devices inside the HOA! Can't wait to try it.

  2. Is that 4 cameras on the one machine? Or is it split between 2?
    It might be easier and smoother with ManyCam.

  3. +John Brown, it was planned that it be 4 on one machine ( A Chromebox - thus unable to run Manycam)...but it lookos like it has to be 4 different types/brands of cameras as the Chromebox won't recognize two indentical cameras on the same machine. Since all work is done from my desk there is no real need for any of this...just a whimsical exercise of "can it be done".  :)
