New to streamate need help!

Due to so much encouragement to get back on Streamate, I decided to give it a go. The main thing I dont understand is the way peope only seem to stay moments in the room.
The other thing that I dont understand is how to set up my laptop so I can see myself in the HD encoder that I set up and also see the chats that come in. You will see how crowded my screen gets.

The encoder shows this vary narrow letterbox kind of look, and I think what the viewer see is less rectangular, with more above and below.

But on my windows 8 machine, I have not found a way to make the encoder get smaller than about 3/4s of the screen, and then setting up the chat window so I can see what people are typing is a real juggling act for me.
