Picture in picture works in preview but doesn't record

Hello, I have a pretty simple question about OBS.

I have a default scene "Scene" to which I have added "Video Capture Device" and "Display Capture" and "Mic/Aux" in that order, "Video Capture Device" on top. This displays as expected in the "Preview" pane on the top left with my laptop camera displaying as a movable, resizable picture-in-picture. The "Program" pane on the right just shows a screen capture without the picture-in-picture (except where it displays in OBS's preview).

When I go "Start Recording" and go do my presentation and click "Save Recording" I get a file in which audio and video are great except the picture-in-picture is not overlaid. It is displayed only in the preview pane in OBS studio visible at the beginning and end of the video when I click to start and stop recording.

Am I missing a step so that the webcam input will be overlaid on the output video file? Thanks for your help. OBS Studio is obviously quality software.
 
I am very sorry about this, but some fluke has apparently been occurring. I had tried restarting OBS Studio, which didn't fix it. However, it has started working, apparently spontaneously. I will update the thread if I discover why this was happening.
 
Yep, Studio Mode is for making changes "off-camera". They only go live when you hit the 'transition' button to move Preview to Program, like in a TV station.

If you want all changes to be reflected live, do not use Studio Mode. You can switch between standard and Studio mode by clicking the 'studio mode' button in the bottom-right.
