You’ll see the usual options like Browser Source, to let you stream a browser window, Media Source to add pre-rendered graphics and video, Game Capture and so on. You can add additional ones by clicking the plus button next to Sources and choosing from the menu provided. If auto-detected, or manually set up as described above, your audio and video sources will automatically appear under Sources.

If you’re used to having your workspace a particular way, this is a great drag-and-drop way to rearrange everything without having to awkwardly resize windows.
