Camera Controls
Clicking the camera icon will give you additional options to control the look of the stream.
First option: Swaps fullscreen between game and webcam.
Second option: Pixelates the game. Useful if you need to enter sensitive information.
Third option: Built in green-screen chroma key. (Not sure how well this works.)

Set this towards the right so viewers will be able to hear you over the game audio.
