USB hub overload?

[Jmunk]

So me and my father stream on twitch, and therefore we have to be using two webcams (logitech C920's) on one computer, as well as our new 2i2 mixer for our mics. My problem is that when streaming with OBS, I can't use both webcams and the mixer at the same time, because of I'm presuming, a USB overload.

If I remove one webcam, all is perfect and I have no hiccups. But if both webcams are on, the mixer will freeze or the keyboard will turn off or the stream will freeze in general.

I have tried mix and matching about every USB port and plugcombination I can and I just can't get it to work with both webcams. I can't even get a PCI USB hub because I use that PCI slot for my capture card for our gameplay.

I'm at my wit's end here and I don't know what else to do, the mics sound amazing so I really don't want to have to return them. (We used both webcams with a blue yeti mic before we got this mixer and all was perfect)

This is what I suggested in another forum I posted for help in, and someone posted this:

Does that make any sense?

what he was trying to say ... use usb hub and try splitting your usb port by that you will have some port powered by your motherboard and some powered up by the DC adapter that comes with the hub
hope this helps

But why was he saying that a USB hub is the OPPOSITE of what I need? He's saying a USB hub powered or not won't work for what I'm trying to do. Not saying he's right.

I like that internal USB hub. So I can just plug that in and use those two internal USB ports to plug either a webcam or the mixer in there, right?

well of course you will have a whole new usb header hub powered by your power supply

Nice. Well that's one option, hopefully it would work.

Anyone else/do you have any other options maybe that don't require buying an additional part? Or is that pretty much my only option?
