OBS 27.1.3 (64bit) In Studio-Mode Preview and Program don't show scenes independent

[Tengu]

Hi,
I'm using OBS primarily for Videoconferences in collaboration sofware (Skype, Teams, Webex etc.)
in OBS sersions 25 and 26, the preview window worked independently from the program window.

What I mean is:
The program "window" showed the scene which the virtual camera did present for the collaboration tools.
In the preview "window" I could rearrange the scene, change backgrounds, prepare pictures or app windows to show. THAT would stay in the preview part until I hit the "Transition" Button. THEN it was shown in the program part and streamed to the virtual camera.

My problem:
Now in v27.1.3 this does not work anymore. EVERY change in the preview part is instantly shown in program as well. This is either a bug or a setting has changed with the update, which I was not able to find yet.

Does anyone have a similar issue or maybe an insight how to fix that? Any idea is highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

I'm on version 27.0.1 but maybe this can be of any help:
Next to the Transition button: click the settings icon (cog wheel). Have Duplicate Scene checked.

AWESOME! You made my day!!
I ... well ... just overlooked this particular settings icon for what reason ever .... anyway, activating "Duplicate Scene" AND "Duplicate Sources" fixed it!

Thank you very much and have a great day! :-)

My pleasure :) One more thing:

In the preview "window" I could rearrange the scene, change backgrounds, prepare pictures or app windows to show.

If you have to do much rearranging repeatedly, consider using multiple scenes. Then you do the preparation once and upfront. During the videoconferences you'd only have to select the correct scenes.
