OBS offers a flexible interface that allows users to customize the layout. One thing that couldn't be added as a dockable panel with the ability to preview sources. The Source Dock plug-in for OBS Studio allows users to create a dockable window inside the interface for any source. In addition, each panel can be customized to provide audio level meters, volume adjustments, and media controls you can access on the fly.

To create a dockable panel from any source in OBS, go to Tools and select Source Dock. In the dialog box, select the source you wish to dock. Be sure the Visible box is checked.

Check or uncheck boxes below the various features that you want to appear in the dock. These can be adjusted later.

Preview – This will show a thumbnail of any video source.
Volume Meter – This will enable the audio level meters for the source.
Audio Controls –This will allow you to adjust the levels of the sources from within the Source Dock window.
Switch Scene –This will enable the source to be sent to the program output when clicked on in the panel.
Show Active – This will display Active in green when the source is active.
Properties - This adds a button to access the properties of the source
Filters - This adds one-button access to filters assigned to the source.
Text Input – This displays a text area for notes. This could be used to display the Hotkey combination used to display the sources or other information.
Scene Items – This displays scene layers and enables toggling of each item.

Next, click Add. The panel will appear. Click and drag it like any other panel. From there, you can adjust and rearrange the panel’s location. While Source Dock can be used with any input type, it is especially useful with live web pages and media sources.

Using Source Dock with a Web Page
Add a Browser Source to any scene in OBS. You can use any website you like for the URL. Once the input is created, go to Tools and select Source Dock. Add the browser source and be sure the Visible and Preview boxes are checked. Click Add and then click and drag to drop the panel to your preferred location. Now notice that if you click into the preview window in the panel, you can use your mouse to interact with the live website. You can scroll and click when the source is live or when it is inactive. This is ideal for getting up to date website information ready for display.

Using Source Dock with a Media Source
Add a Media Source to any scene. Be sure that the Local File is checked. Click Browse to locate a video file on your computer. If it is a short video, you may want to check the box next to Loop. Click OK. Now once again, go to Tools, Source Dock. Choose the media source you just created. Be sure the Visible, Preview, Volume Meter, Audio Controls, and Media Controls are checked and click Add. Drag and drop the panel to your preferred location. Now you will see that you have complete control of the media source. You can start, stop, or replay the media. You can also see the audio levels and adjust them via a slider.

Using Source Dock with a Live Video Source
Add a Video Capture Device to any scene. Go to Tools, Source Dock and choose the Video Capture Device you just added as the source. In most cases, you will only need to check the boxes for Visible, Preview, and Switch Scenes. Click Add. Drag it to where you would like it to dock, and you now have a dedicated preview monitor that you can place nearly anywhere in the OBS interface.
