Description
I believe the ffmpeg command that captures the input stream specifies the input as "0:0", which represents first video source, first audio source.
ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""
Lists the active input devices, with a sample output of:
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fb80be0f680] AVFoundation video devices:
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fb80be0f680] [0] FaceTime HD Camera
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fb80be0f680] [1] Capture screen 0
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fb80be0f680] [2] Capture screen 1
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fb80be0f680] AVFoundation audio devices:
[AVFoundation input device @ 0x7fb80be0f680] [0] Built-in Microphone
The user should be able to choose amongst the various inputs via a dropdown, and this should update the UI and input device.

Research direction
Start by locating the ffmpeg AVFoundation capture command that uses "0:0" and the UI code responsible for input-device selection. Review the device list produced by ffmpeg -f avfoundation -list_devices true -i ""; the work is done when users can choose a camera or screen input from a dropdown and the UI and capture input update accordingly.
