It was introduced in the experimental versions after 0.8.7 release. Check the sticky threads at the top of this forum.

Hi There,

You're right, there isn't a button to manually select your video source in v0.8.7. In this version, the software automatically detects your video source. If you're not getting a video input it could be that your computer is not recognising the camera.

Furthermore, experimental version 0.8.12 has attempted  to solve this issue by incorporating a 'select video source' button that also lets you choose the resolution/frame rate available on the camera.

Have a go and see if it solves your problems.

The capture screen altogether was only introduced in version 0.8.9 anyway, so it's not that it is not picking up the camera, the function is simply not there.
In the new version, go to menu "View" and select the capture screen.
