Field notes
Application rules can place Discord in Voice, Spotify in Music, games in Game, and Streamer.bot in Alerts; the page says each placement shows why it was made. OBS setup includes a preview of capture changes and duplicate-capture mutes, with an undo option. The microphone check plays its recording back in headphones and reports the mic level before OBS, so it does not establish what reaches an audience.
