Issue with Selecting Sources

Wanting to try my hand at Reaction Videos for movies/music. I select Desktop Capture, but I don't see the actual video in the Preview: Scene. Both for Netflix or Amazon. Can I not use a Streaming service? Or is it just a app setting in OBS? I have tried Windows Capture with the same results.
Thanks for any help or tips!

OBS isn't able to capture DRM-protected content. Even if it's capturing the desktop and not directly the streaming service media player. The space where the movie is supposed to appear is just black in the video with everything else still there - like invisible censoring.

What applications are able to capture this content? Or should I ask what are these content creators using to create their videos? I was pointed to OBS.

DRM protected content is meant to not be captured. If you're tasked to include protected content into your own video recording, ask the copyright owner of that content to provide you with a non-DRM version of the video.
