How can I capture a portion of the screen during a screen capture

Question

I can add a display capture as a source, but can only select the entire monitor. Is there a way to select only a portion of the screen?

1. Add Display Capture

   

2. Select Entire Display

   

But there's not an option to just select a portion of the screen. Any tools to do this without doing it in post?

2. Or go to the Settings > Video > and update the Base (Canvas) Resolution.
