Projecting a full screen via output HDMI (what viewers will see), while working in Studio Mode at my mac

[Candace]

Hi there,

I'm lost: I'd like to project the Program screen on a tv that is behind our camera set-up, showing full-screen (what a viewer would see if watching on FB live, Youtube, etc.), while simultaneously working in Studio Mode on my mac (catalina). I've tried the View Window mode, but it doesnt work on the mac (the first window is fine, while the second window is blank). I've also tried View>Full screen> and the attached tv via HDMI, but I dont want the tv to "mirror" what I'm doing. Any ideas? Every other thread and youtube tutorial has pointed me to the same solutions, but it's not what I"m after.

Thanks in advance!

Go into MacOS Settings->Displays->Arrangement and uncheck Mirror Displays. Then in OBS studio mode CMD-Click on the program window and choose full-screen and the appropriate monitor

It worked, once I hooked up my MAC to the extra monitor. Thank you!

I'm having a similar issue. Setup is camera into OBS, with Chroma Key and Background image set.

When I send the program feed full screen to the projector>VGA, my main monitor goes black and I can't access OBS studio without exiting the program feed on the projector.

Projector is seen by the computer and OBS and not set to mirror.

TIA
