As you're new to OBS you should start here: https://obsproject.com/kb/quick-start-guide
First learn how OBS works and it's parts and then you can more safely dive into strange and dangerous waters.
Most how-to's on the Internet are based on old OBS versions, so how it looks is indeed different.

@PaiSand User complains here that the official quick start guide for OBS is not clear. It doesn't explains the OBS's "sources" meaning. Why you should add some and where the changes take place from this "add" action. User likely expects way more simple instructions: to record the display screen - click here, should appear this; then click here, should appear this; then click here - recording started; click here to stop recording; the video file automatically saved; to navigate to the place where the video file was saved to, please, click here; now you may close the program by clicking here.
Alternatives.
There are some video tutorials in the: https://obsproject.com/forum/resources/categories/guides-obs-studio.8/
(look for the "The Most In-Depth OBS Course Ever Made" by @EposVox )
As about the sources itself. The "source" in OBS is a complex mathematical description of the digitized audio and video data sets, that generates "endless" flow of information inside your PC, that can be dumped to the file on your PC (so you can playback or edit it later). This flow of information can be previewed in the "Preview" window or listened via the special "Audio monitoring" function of OBS.
More details about the OBS "sources" can be found in this thread (try to read it in full, despite it says about the copy/paste nuances in OBS): https://obsproject.com/forum/thread...oup-are-not-duplicated-but-referenced.101205/ of from other threads, books and tutorials.
