Step Three: Select Your Webcam And Click OK!

After giving your webcam a name, select that device from the list of available ones by clicking on it with your mouse.

Step Four: Adjust Your Camera Settings, And Resolution To Fit Your Needs

After clicking OK, OBS should automatically detect and display your resolution. If not, you can adjust it in the settings tab on your main OBS screen.

Step Five: Add Webcam To The Scene By Dragging It In And Resizing It

After adjusting your webcam to fit your needs and checking that everything is working properly by recording a short clip of yourself speaking or moving around, drag it onto one of the scenes on the main OBS screen. You can resize it by clicking and dragging any edges, corners, or center points.
