Below the playback screen (the large black rectangle at the
top of your screen) are three panels called Scenes,
Sources, and Audio Mixer.
Scenes – In OBS, scenes are a collection of sources.
You can think of them as folders with a layout for your stream.
You can save or switch between scenes to get different setups
for your stream.
Sources – Sources are where you add Video, Audio, Logos,
and overlays to your stream. One scene can have multiple sources.
Audio Mixer – You will find all the audio sources in the
audio mixer. Here you can adjust the volume or mute a source. You
can also add filters and set them to each audio source.
