Answer

Launch up OBS Studio. After adding a video source, Image, Browser Source, or anything else, select the source. In your OBS preview, click and hold the source to change its location on the screen, and when selecting one of the corner or border points, you can resize the source. When holding shift while dragging one of the corners or sides, the source resizes but keeps scaling. Use the shortcut CTRL & F to resize it to fullscreen in its default scaling automatically.
