A window will appear with the following options:

Leave "Use Buffering" unchecked unless you experience lag (not recommended unless needed).
Click "OK" [8] to add the webcam feed.

Adjust Webcam Position and Size:
In the OBS preview window, use the red dots around the webcam feed to resize or drag it to your preferred position (e.g., bottom-right corner, as adjusted to 777 px width and 45 px height in the example).
