====== Add Capture Device ======

This dialog lets you select a DirectShow input source that you wish to stream to devices and web browsers.  

If you have a webcam or  microphone built-in or connected to your computer, then you already have DirectShow input sources for those devices and they will be listed in the Add Capture Device dialog for you to select.  

**Tip:** You can also download and install DirectShow input sources from the web that capture whatever is playing on your computer's desktop.  This lets you stream your desktop to your devices and web browsers [[https://sourceforge.net/projects/screencapturer/files/]].
