Beginner's Help

[ThePastor]

I am a beginner with OBS and I am having problem getting to the main screen on my Macbook Air. In OBS Studio, after I chose the source, 'macOS Screen capture', and selected it, I got what you're looking at on the attached image. There are multiple red lines representing multiple screens or copies of the same screen and I do not know what to do with it. Can you please help?

Thanks very much!

And working on a tiny, single screen is a really good way to frustrate yourself. Add an external monitor and save yourself a load of hassle, as least as you are getting started/learning OBS, where seeing the OBS Studio screen in Full screen, and separately your sources, will make a world of difference.
