Using laptop screen as a monitor

Hi guys and happy new year.
I am an entertainer and often use my zoom q8 musicians camera for recording shows and other commercials things. The camera screen is tiny as they all often are so I’m hoping to use obs on my laptop to monitor what my camera is recording? But obs only seems to recognise my camera if I use it as a webcam? I then lose all freedom of the camera including record button etc. Obs seems to want to control it all from there.
I simply want to use my camera to record the the event but obs to display on my laptop, for monitoring purposes only, what is being recorded?
