Why does my webcam stop showing up on the Web site? It like it stops working and all drivers are up to date.

okay, are you using wifi to connect to your internet? if so try with a cable and see if this fixes the problem, I have had this happening when I tried using my WiFi in the current location I am in.

This can be a few different things when you say it works correctly on other computers and that the computer is not on WiFi
If you use a Proxy or VPN, this can happen sometimes, the fix for this would be try do it without a VPN or Proxy, I would suggest doing so in a password protected show if you are worried for anything.
the same thing if your firewall or an anti-virus catches anything, here you can try disabling it for a short while and seeing if this fixes it.. I would normally never recommend disabling a firewall or anti-virus fully, if you do so, please be sure you have as little software open that is connecting to the internet as possible! and only have CB open in the browser..
It can be something with your settings in OBS, please do check your bitrate settings and everything, and if you manually pick the server on other computers, check that it connects to the same server here too
I hope it is some of these things or that someone else knows, because I haven't had THAT much trouble as a broadcaster with this (only as a user I have the problem on CB)

Yeah, that same thing used to happen to me often when using OBS. It wouldn’t detect my Logitech Brio, so then I’d have to fool around with clicking on (underneath “Sources”) the little gear icon. When I click that little gear icon to “open source properties”…a new window opens up. Next to “Resolution/FPS Type” if I have it selecting “Custom,” my Logitech Brio webcam WILL NOT show up on the above screen. But when I select “Device Default” instead, then my Logitech Brio cam is immediately detected, and I see my video in the above screen.
Try that, and see if your cam video appears now. Also make sure you don’t have some other program currently using your webcam. Earlier today I made the mistake of still having the Logitech Capture program open on my laptop (so it was using my Logitech Brio webcam), and was wondering why the people in my Microsoft Teams meeting weren’t able to see my video. Lol. I had to exit out of the Logitech Capture program, so that I could use my webcam in the Microsoft Teams video call instead.

Well I'm glad your webcam is showing up now...yay!
Let us know if the bitrate issue is fixed once you've followed the steps that @rockin_rod directed you to ^above.

Have you played around with the bitrate you have put in OBS, recommended is 3000-5000 kbps for 720p, and 5000-8000 kbps for 1080p. Contrary to what seems logical often the lower end of the span is better, fx 3000 kbps for 720p and 5000 kbps for 1080p, less strain on the computer I think.

Yes i did. The weird thing is it only loses upload speeds when I broadcast and when i don't broadcast and play a game with people online it does just fine no losing upload speeds.

Gaming doesn't usually require high upload speeds and would be less affected than something like streaming. Does you bitrate drop down to zero completely when you try streaming or is it just dropping low enough that it's unusable?
