I was searching for hours to find a solution for my problem. My job is trainings and conferences online. Actual I use the output of the virtual camera as input into conferencing-software like zoom e.g. This works brilliant BUT my customers want me to show the outputsignal at the same time in the conferencing and training room and via conferencing-software.

First I need a solution to bring the outputsignal of the virtual camera to the hdmi-port of my computer so that the participants see on the HDMI-Monitor (Beamer) what I work. If I have this solution I am able to connect my computer via HDMI-cable to the Beamer.

Perfect would be, if I could split the signal of the virtual camera to send it parallel into the conferencing software. In this case I could work with a mixed group online and personally. This is what my customers want. Sorry for my english, but it is not my mothertounge.

For hdmi output, right-click the preview->Fullscreen Projector (Preview)->choose from the monitor/beamers connected to the computer.

Thank you koala for your answer. I'll try this. So I have first to connect a beamer/monitor to my note-book. I hope, then I will find it in the preview options. Tell you later about the sucess.

I just connected my external HDMI-monitor (TV-screen) with the HDMI-port of my note-book. You where right because OBS finds this monitor and I am able to choose it in the Preview-Menu. I was happy to see the preview on my TV. So far so good.
BUT the Preview-menu offers only the external Monitor and my computer-monitor is no more available. This seemed no problem until I saw the OBS-preview output-signal is on my computer-monitor aswell. I had no longer the OBS-surface on my computer-monitor which I need to work with.

My original problem - connecting to HDMI-port - is obviously solved. Thanks for that. The new problem is:
Why does OBS cancel my computer-monitor from the list of projectors and
why does OBS show the preview on both monitors (computer and external monitor)
even when the computer-monitor is not selected for preview.

I hope someone knows a solution.

With the TV connected via HDMI
Press Windows key + P
Select Extend
If you want the room attendees to see the same as stream Right click the Program window and
Select full screen projector (program)
And select the TV

This is no OBS specific issue. Please make yourself familiar with connecting additional monitors to a Windows Notebook. From Windows' point of view, beamer/projector is just an additional monitor. You can extend the Windows desktop to an additional monitor. or mirror the primary monitor to the additional monitor. The default seems to mirror, and if you change this to extending the Windows desktop, you have additional space for displaying the OBS fullscreen projector image.

The monitor options are in Windows settings->System->Display.

Solution I used was to use a second laptop with OBS and streaming the output via NDI to the second laptop.
