PyCharm - venv is not getting activated

Question

I am learning Python and Django and want to activate the virtual environment from the PyCharm community edition 2019.3

I can see the venv created under my folder but when I try and activate it using the command

source venv/bin/activate

There's an error -

'source' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I already tried checking the project interpreter and it seems to point to the right path. Below is the screenshot

I have checked the below link as well - How do I activate a virtualenv inside PyCharm's terminal? and tried changing the terminal option, but somehow I am not getting rid of this error -

Can someone please help here?

Thanks, Sanket

venv\scripts\activate

Pycharm automatically activates the virtual environment fo your project, see the (venv) in Pycharm terminal before the folder information.
