Step 8: Next, we need to create a new “Source.” To do that, click on the “+” icon under the “Sources” section and select the “Display Capture” option. A good title will help when you have multiple scenes. Step 7: Name the new scene anything you want and press “Ok.” Make sure the name is descriptive enough. For example, you can create a scene for recording full-screen, a scene for recording a specific section, a scene for streaming, etc. In OBS, you can think of a Scene as a virtual template with specific settings. Here we need first to create a new “Scene.” Click on the “+” icon under the “Scene” section to create a new Scene.
