Program View in seperate Window

[Niels Käpsele]

Hi there,

thank you for OBS, I think it goes more in the direction of what I ever wanted than anything else. At least concerning video. ;-)

I have a suggestion... or is it even possible and I don't get it? It would be great to have the program view on in a separate window. (Or, like with the sources, to have the option for popping up such a window.)

This might seem like a minor detail but it opens the door to a new world: This separate window could be moved to another screen which actually is a video projector... and so one could use OBS for "live mixing" of visuals in concerts or for talks with such a huge crowd that you want to have a iive picture of the speaker plus their slide show on a huge projector wall etc.

Best
Niels

This already exists: right click the preview window and either use Fullscreen Projector or Windowed Projector.

OK, thank you. Great! I just didn't expect it in the context menu of the left part of the window but in the right one, which doesn't have any context menu.

SO WAS GOOGLEING AND THIS THREAD POPPED UP:

not what they were asking. Some of us obs use a lot in our obs windows.
but it makes the canvas super small
This user wants to pop the whole canvas out.

i would also like to do the same. so that way when i edit i can have a full window canvas space preview...
and it will also prevent my from accendtly click on it because i could switch to canvas preview and have a seprat dash board for ever thing else.,..
