Sources right-click > Group Selected Sources.

Control reference
| Control | Use |
|---|---|
| Group Name | Set group name for this item. |
| Single active source | Turn this option on or off for this item. |
| Save | Save the edited settings. |
| Close | Close this window. |
Example
Use one group for alternative lower-third graphics.
Stop or remove
Hide the source to stop showing its picture. Use its available playback/connection stop control when you need to stop the input itself. Remove the source item from the scene when it is no longer needed. Shared sources can still be used in other scenes.
Additional workflow details
For an exclusive source group, showing one source hides other sources in that group. You may still hide all of them. Review source visibility in every open layout; visibility is shared by the collection.
