Since the latest update I am unable to get my webcam to display on stream, and the previous option under the add source menu no longer has the option to add a video capture device
 
Then your install got corrupted, possibly by an overzealous antivirus deleting the video capture device dlls.
 
re-download the installer and install it again to the same spot.

What antivirus do you have installed?
 
Also, I've now gotten my webcam working, but I get this error when I start the stream

I've been encountering the below error.

Could not connect to server

RTMPSockBuf_Fill, recv returned -1 GetSockError(): 10054 (An existing connection was focibly closed by the remote host.) RTMP_Connect1, handshake failed.

Any ideas?

If you're using any of those three servers with twitch, use different ones. Those three are down.
 
Also, sometimes the video capture DLL and/or game capture DLL will not be loaded on starting OBS. Exiting out and starting it again usually fixes the issue. No idea why it happens, and it's a rare bug that I've been unable to reliably reproduce.
