Question / Help How to see the same thing my viewers do when streaming.

[Jesse Craig]

Okay so I'm new to OBS. Through tutorials and other threads I figured out how to do everything I want to use it for as of now but still have one major problem, when I start a stream I don't actually see on my screen what the viewers see. What I mean is I don't see my webcam or chatbox, and unless I misunderstood I thought this was possible. I know my viewers can see it because I've tried a few test streams and watched on my phone. So is there something I missed in the settings where you can do that or would I basically just have to get another monitor to run the twitch app while I stream if I wanted to check viewer comments and things like that?

Not sure what you want, You can open a twitch chatbox in popout and put it on your monitor to see what people are saying. IF you wanne see whats showing on obs you gotta have your preview on.

Right so I have everything set the way I want it with my webcam and chatbox and it shows that way when I stream, but only to the viewer. What I am asking is if there is a way to have my screen show what the preview looks like but not only in preview, so I can see my webcam and chatbox on my monitor that I am actually playing on, while in game and streaming.
