I want to variety stream, so like react to videos and then play games but I have a laptop so everytime I want to use a different capture, I have to restart OBS. Is there a fix or not.
 
Nope. This is one of the drawbacks to using a laptop for livestreaming. You have to choose between Display Capture, or Game+Window Capture.

You could always just window capture your browser (assuming you aren't using Edge for some reason).
Please note that most 'reaction' streams are very likely illegal due to copyright infringement, even if they aren't being prosecuted at present. 'Fair use' doesn't cover watching+restreaming someone else's content and making faces.
 
Ok thank you. And also thanks for the reaction advice. I've seen many streamers like xQc where they play a game and then react to stuff so that was the type of streaming I wanted to do.
