This is an annoying bug:
If you create a browser view, then overlay that browser over an image with MultiView, and then that input with the image and the browser you overlay it again over another image with MultiView, the browser is not shown.

In short:
- Create a browser view (input 1).
- Go to another input (input 2), to the MultiView options, and select the browser (input 1) in the position 1.
- Go to another input (input 3), to the MultiView options, and select the input 2 in the position 1.

If the browser is shown, then repeat the steps to add the input 3 to another input 4. At some point, it stops working as intended :-/

@ Liorx

This is pretty much by design and for performance reasons.
Essentially, vMix can process up to two layers deep and since vMix does not pre-render Layer/Multiview Inputs, you will lose the bottom layer if you attempt to stack 3 Layer/Multiview Inputs on top of one another.
A common workaround is to composite with a pre-rendered Input instead, like the vMix Mix Input or an auxiliary vMix Output brought in as NDI.

In certains versions of vMix (I think 4K and up) there is an additional type of input available, the 'Mix' input, which works a bit like Aux channel. You get a preview/program for each extra Mix and can transition between inputs independently of the main Mix 1. Another characteristic of Mixes is that inputs like Multiviews are 'flattened' allowing them to be nested without losing layers.
