| hello, I'm trying to find out why my obs-studio doesn't have all the features, at the place where I select the sources I don't have the screenshot, I went to my brother-in-law who obs- studio too, it is on another distribution, with it there is the option for screenshot |

I only know of a screenshot action in the context-menu when right-clicking the preview area.
Are you sure that is the name of an actual 'source'?
Some of the screen/display capture sources require PipeWire (and possibly Wayland), and likely an 'xdg-desktop-portal' implementation that supports them, which I have not properly wired up with the required packages yet (they seem to show up in a KDE Plasma install I have in a VM, where they show no image, but that might be due to the VM I maybe guess).
Will need to know the exact name of the source to be able to say for sure (I can't quite imagine how a 'screenshot' would work as a 'source' in any case).

| yes to film your office you have to add a source to be able to do it, on the other hand you are right when I went to my brother-in-law, this function required pipewire, I did not choose pipewire I took pulseaudio, it is less good what pipewire? the word source in the obs-studio application, it can be an audio or video source, it is in this sense but you have to choose one |

| maybe that's the problem, I don't have pipewire, can we install pipewire and pulseaudio at the same time? |

If it's something on your screen you want to capture, not through an actual camera, there should also be a 'Sreen Capture (XSHM)' and 'Window Capture (Xcomposite)' without PipeWire at least if running an X11 session (not Wayland).
But if you mean through a camera, then there is 'v4l' for that, but PipeWire also has a 'beta' feature for it now.
When I added the USE-flag for it, I probably should have named it 'screencast' instead, because that is what it is mainly used for in OBS Studio, not for audio (although on Gentoo Linux I think you should be able to use it for audio, too, instead of PulseAudio, but I never used either myself so I'm not entirely sure).
I am still unsure what exactly is required for the PipeWire sources work, but if you are running a KDE, GNOME, or Wayland desktop session, it might just work if you build with PipeWire, and PulseAudio might still work for the audio parts, but again, I'm not sure.
Probably best to take a look here:

| thank you chiitoo, I migrated the computer to profile 23, I think it worked well however, I'm still on version 6.6.21 of the kernel, is it normal that it hasn't changed? |

Yes, if stable is what you are following, 6.6.21 seems to be the current stable version of 'gentoo-sources'.

Not only can both PipeWire and PulseAudio be installed at the same time, PipeWire needs Pulse installed in order to support the many applications which are still Pulse-only (rather than being able to use PipeWire directly / 'natively'). However, only one of the two should be providing a sound server, otherwise they'll be fighting over who controls audio.
Concretely:
* The 'pulseaudio' USE flag should be globally enabled when using either PulseAudio or PipeWire.
* If you want PipeWire to provide the sound server, set the 'sound-server' USE flag on media-video/pipewire, and ensure that media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon is not installed.
* If you want PulseAudio to provide the sound server, make the sure that media-sound/pulseaudio-daemon is installed, and that the 'sound-server' USE flag is not set on media-video/pipewire. |
